The crow of good omen, le corbeau de bon augure, mixed media painting

A few years ago, I painted a series of crows. They are numerous in the part of Paris where I live and very impressive. They inspired me. 

Michel Pastoureau recently published a new book about crows and their muse quality stroke again. 

This crow the negative of what crows were for catholic church. He is the bearer of good omen, made of dreams, flowers and pink with a touch of green.  I have been also inspired by a stained glass of Chartres cathedral about the flood and by a photo of Orion nebula taken by Hubble.

    1. Merci beaucoup.
      Amusant, depuis aujourd’hui je m’intéresse à la pie à cause d’une comptine anglaise :
      One for sorrow,
      Two for mirth
      Three for a funeral,
      Four for birth
      Five for heaven
      Six for hell
      Seven for the devil, his own self
