Two Crows and the bone 24"x36"

This is an older painting, it seems that I have been painting crows for a long time. I painted bones for a very long time too. I have a very large elk head over my fireplace, and many bones around my home and yard. People have been bringing me bones forever. I find them very beautiful. Georgia O' Keef said that every painter had a favorite shape that they painted and painted over and over. This is certainly true of me. The shape of the skull of a cow,deer,elk etc.

appears over and over in my work and when I see it in other work it always attracts me. It is one of Jung's universal symbols as well.
