BLYTHART replied
Have you read Poe’s famous poem The Raven? Most people depict the raven sitting on the door or on the bust of Pallas, so I thought I’d have him sitting on the grave of Lenore. Thanx for faving this one.

He is beautiful, love the hatched head and the bleak background. Superb Dave!
BLYTHART replied
The background is straight from my head, which explains why it is bleak I guess.

BLYTHART replied
This is the sort of work I used to do a lot of and then I was encouraged by friends to start using colour. I now try to do a little of each. Thanks for your compliment :)
Soxy Fleming
has Scott Alison seen this?? check out his work, he loves birds. excellent by the way
John Moore
Somehow, you are not actually refering to ‘The Raven’, yet somehow everything which it may recall, has been recalled to me. This is one little drawing, quite beautifully yet simply presented, well, it does bear thinking about.
BLYTHART replied
I decided to depict the raven on the grave of Lenore … a little poetic licence on my part :)
Luke Brannon
Just fantastic, Dave!
Leny L.
Glorious work, Dave AND you might get people to read too…
