Leonardo da Vinci wrote “Colours become weaker in proportion to their distance from the person who is looking at them.”
And we add a wink and a nod to ravens who have an aerial perspective all their own.

Sandy Thybony "A Scattering of Light"
“Being a figurative artist I’m always searching for subjects that intrigue me. I love painting serious little faces of time-lost children and I have a fine obsession with ravens who act like nature’s court jesters. Primarily, I use acrylic paints and inks to express my feelings about my subjects.
Since most of my paintings are story-centered I begin with an idea. These ideas can come from poems or books I’ve read — Edgar Heard a Tapping was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, or from a casual remark a friend has made —“She was on her high horse that day!” was the inspiration for Her High Horse. And sometimes ideas come out of nowhere like for Little Redhead.
Painting is a solitary, often lonely occupation and sometimes even I wonder what keeps me painting. During these tumultuous times I’d say it was a longing for distraction as well as a rejection of, and a fighting against, the gloom. There is deep satisfaction and joy in working through the doubt and the daily bout of angst by creating with simple materials like paints and color.”
