"When Raven returned the Sun"

Acrylic on canvas 40" round

                 This painting represents a North American native story.

                 One day Ogre was angry at the natives and stole the Sun.

                 The natives tried everything to get the Ogre to return the Sun.

                 White raven came to the natives and said I'll get it back for you.

                 He flew up in the sky and started to tease the Ogre but to no avail.

                 Finally, the Ogre got mad at raven and dropped the Sun.

                 Raven caught it and flew back to earth and return the Sun,

                 But, flying so long with the Sun in his mouth his feathers

                turned shiny black, and this is how ravens’ feathers are now black.
