Rob Medley’s painting, The Evolution of Nimueh, vividly depicts the mythological Lady of the Lake, showcasing her ethereal beauty and wisdom. Featuring a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, the artwork illustrates Nimueh’s duality as both enchantress and protector, with a raven symbolizing her connection to life and death, highlighting her enduring legacy.
Today at the Washington Midsummer Faire, I completed a painting titled “Spice Conspiracy.” The piece captures a mysterious gathering of crows and a curious cat, set against the backdrop of a large pumpkin. The dark, moody colors and sharp contrasts hint at a secretive plot, while the small bucket labeled “Spice” adds an element of intrigue. The expressive eyes of the animals suggest they know something we don’t, drawing the viewer into a world where even nature conspires.
“Peace on Earth” is an evocative acrylic painting that blends the tranquility of nature with a subtle, contemplative presence. The artwork depicts a serene winter landscape at dawn, with a raven perched solemnly on a snow-covered warrior, lost in some past battle. The background features a forest of evergreen trees dusted with snow, while the sky transitions from deep blue to soft pink hues, capturing the delicate light of early morning. The scene is calm and still, yet the raven’s watchful eye adds a touch of mystery, inviting viewers to ponder the deeper significance of peace amid the solitude of winter.
This is ostensibly about the cycle of man vs nature. At least that’s the story I’m sticking to. It’s gouache and acrylics on canvas 18×24. Once I’ve put a coat of protectant on it, I’ll list it for sale.
The battle was over, dead littering the landscape, their prized possessions of war adrift like so much flotsam. Now the feeding would begin, human problems dissolving into sustenance for natures favored creatures. This was nothing to crow about, but it is my current computer background. Never AI.
This is nothing to crow about. It’s an abstract doodle about a Corvid looking through a keyhole. Outside, worlds abound, so why is the crow inside? Eye don’t know.
My first finger-painting since the third grade. I’ve always wondered how effective it would be. The answer? For a guy with big fingers, I can’t get any detail. I’m going back to brushes for the next one, but it was fun to ‘roll around in the mud’, if you will, and stretch my wings.
As I’ve said, no brush touched this canvas. It looks like it, right? The story, a raven soars in the evening sky, trees below and a gibbous moon riding high in the sky, illuminating it’s coat as it searches for a throne upon which to perch… or something like that.
Acrylic finger-painting on canvas (good thing its not the Middle Ages, where this stuff was not cheap). Comments welcome, I have mostly thick-skin 🙂
