Fire In The Sky by

“I have seen fire in the sky,” said Raven. “I have flown high in the sky and seen that the people living in the heavens are warm. I say we take fire from them and bring it back to earth.”
(HAIDA LEGENDS).

I have deliberately not depicted the ravens that I paint as three dimensional. He was revered as an important deity and I have tried to portray him as a black, two-dimensional portal into the Infinite Universe.

I used 8.5″ × 11″ Canson Pastel paper and Schmincke, Sennelier and Unison pastels.

About Constance Widen

I paint because I cannot do otherwise. I paint because if I don’t I become unhappy and sad. Most of all, I paint best the things that filled and fill me with joy and excitement, like the ocean and waves which I no longer can see nor hear now. During the long winter months I paint butterflies, they are symbols of what it felt like to fly away to freedom. And all the while, I continue trying to achieve what Matisse wrote, “I continue painting until the hand sings” .
