Prophet of Doom? by Fiona Phipps
Powdered and willow charcoal, chalk and eraser on Strathmore grey. Another visitor to the garden and despite their reputation, ‘plays nicely’ with the other birds. I could fill pages with the doom and bad luck written and repeated over generations about this particular member of the Corvid family. Folklore and mythology link the Crow to many different deities…..Greek, Roman, Irish, Scottish Scandinavian etc. and it mostly stacked against this bird, probably due to it being one of natures recycling agents.
