"Channeling her inner Diva."
I don't have an inner Diva. I don't think I ever have. I don't feel the need to try and upstage anyone. Just the thought of that drama is too exhausting!
The world is a stage as they say, and we are all actors in a grand play until our final curtain call.
acrylic paint, colored pencils (prismacolor), patterned paper, and a sticker for the sparkly crown!
Frogs always have so much fun.... most of the time.
Just what was it about Albert that was so different from the others at the pond. He always seemed a bit distant, unusual and somewhat depressed. You might even say he was a bit aloof, above it all, a frog of a different nature. He just didn't join in the froggie fun. He was being such a "baby" sometimes!

A new study says, " When we read our eyes lock on to different letters in the same word instead of scanning a page smoothly from left to right as previously thought, researchers said on Monday. Using sophisticated eye tracking equipment, the team looked at letters within a word and found that people combined parts of a word that were on average two letters apart, said Simon Liversedge, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Southampton."
This might explain my brother's and sister's dyslexia, or at least help kids in the future.

This is just beautiful! :) Silke
Aaahhh hello:
Raven you are beautiful. Ode to the raven done by Laurel.
Gorgeous.
You would have laughed I saw the uplifting award on someone's blog and I'm like 'made by lolo'. Can't be. Then a few people sent it to me. I was like 'I don't think so.' As in I will get it from the source.
har har
Love it and love the raven it is gorgeous.
p.s. we are so much alike I totally hate drama and find it so boring. I always think 'they think they are exciting but they are so fucking boring.'
Love Renee xoxo
Love Renee xoxo
Now that I know you don't have an inner diva, I wondering what you DO have hidden away in there--or maybe not so hidden.
so lovely.
ohmygod! this is stunning!
i just love the crown. it glows and shines.
lo, i think this belongs to renee, if you don't mind me saying so. i think she would treasure it.
it is totally beautiful--one of my very favorites
love you,
kj
magical my lo. love shakespeare's words too. althugh i have a sparky personality, i am not a diva at all, and like to remain on the side lines and watch first before stepping out on to that stage...although my job means i have to be 'on stage ' every day.
Hi Lolo,
Good morning to you.
I really love this beautiful piece. It's very very beautiful!
The raven is a diva no need to choose a peacock.
I think every bird and human being can be a diva, hero and heroin themself. Thanks for sharing this incredible meaningful write-out too. I love all of it.
I still remember the piece sketchout got, it's a raven on a fruit too. That's also very nice.
I think it is a great progression. I really love your raven series, please do more raven series in the future when you are free.
I really really really enjoy them.
Just look at the pattern background, the textured fur and wing, the bird's eye for her inner expression and her most precious crown.
This really raise my confidence. Thanks again Lolo:)
This is one of your best acts in my opinion. The bird looks alive.
I JUST LOVE THIS!
I LOVE IT!
I AM ENTHRALLED!
This is just beautiful! The colors are lovely and kind of magical. Charming!
Oh Lolo, this one is awesome!! Beautiful and mysterious. Its a wowzer for sure.
Ravens love shiny things!
Very dramatic! I LOVE it!
Love the pic! Love crows and esp. medieval look!

I love the somber colors that you used, and the highlight of the crown. I always look forward to seeing your paintings.
I just love that bird, it's so fabulous. The crown makes it special.
Oh, good heavens. Your ravens. Your ladies and your ravens. You are absolutely magical! So deep and rich and lovely. And I love the crown sticker!!!
we seem to be singing from the same hymnal. I like the raven king.Very hamletesque.
Laural thanks for leaving me a comment. It cheered me up. I am working on trial sumbmissions for 12 hours a day , day after day. No time for art. UGH! All this will pass but until then Ughh!
Regards

This is absolutely gorgeous with the dark patterned paper and dark colors of bird, and sparkly crown!!! Love, Love, Love!!!!!
I so love your ravens!!!
Magical.....
Do you have time to read one more reaction? ;-) The bird is wonderful. I am looking closely at the feathers and how you drew them. I am learning, I hope, as I look.
Thank you again for the lovely award. I had such fun giving it away to others. Much appreciated. And Now I give it back to you, as you uplift me and you deserve it too. Diva? NO WAY.
Very beautiful! the beak and the crown glows and shines perfectly.
WOW! Wonderful!!! Your Ravens are so beautiful:) Great colors & shades. Beautiful work.
Have a Raving Day!
Lovely! Superb colours and detail - the little crown is an amusing touch!
Just love your birds!
I agree about drama being too exhausting. My son (briefly, fortunately) dated a drama-queen, and it exhausted all of us.
But I had to laugh at the idea of channelling your inner diva. I have to admit, though, that if one has to actively channel it, it's not the right role. I think the real divas have it coursing through them with no need for channelling.
Having said all that, I have to say that I LOVE this picture! Beautiful image, and colors, and everything.
WOW!
Wow, Laurel, this is fantastic!!
I love the drama and the suspense and the contrast in this piece. And the magical-ness of the bird ... LOVE IT!
wow! I got a rush looking at this! It is really special, I dont know why, but it has got something about it. I think the darkness and the contrast is amazing!
a lovely evocative painting. No drama? interesting. all that emotionalism can be exhausing it is true. I used to be very dramatic, but no more.
Amazing!! This is beautiful my friend, fellow raven lover :> The crown is a fabulous touch...and I'm with you, I'm so NOT into dramas...
Laura
xo
Smashing! I bow in honor of the Diva. Awesome take!
THAT is one of my favorites...great contrast going on here with raven and the crown...great mood evoked by this!!!
how did bella know the crown was a sticker? i wouldn't have known. is it because i'm a writer and not an artist? can i become an artist at this late date? sigh.....
xoxo
Thanks for your comments everyone!
KJ...this piece has already been sold to a lady who owns many of my raven paintings. It was sweet of you to think of Renee though.
And Bella knew it was a sticker because she read the bottom of my post where it says what I used to make the piece :)
Oh what a beatiful piece this is!!!!
Love all the dark colors and the gold crown, such perfection. And after the mandala the crow is now also in my system!
Unfotunately no letter yet.
Tomorrow I have to go to a course (at Schiphol) and then Thursday I will fly to Panama and will be home on Saturday so maybe then......
I have the feeling I can´t catch up with everything all the time..... makes me nervous.
I will try to mail you from Panama.
much love `>M<
All I have to say is WOW!!!!! Amazing!!!!!
Stunning, simply stunning!! I am amazed at your talent!
This is so beautiful, I love ravens anyway, but yours is one of the best I have seen :-).
Excellent! Love the integration of the sparkly sticker- that's just too clever. Beautiful work.
This is my favorite yet. This is the most beautiful raven I've seen on any of our blogs. The purples...the feathers...I love this!
lovely - the colors on the wing are just perfect!
not sure if u scanned the bkgd in or actually did it by hand but it matches the wonderful detail u did on the bird amazing.
love your ravens!!! the crown is perfect.
simply beautiful and i love your words :)
wow wow wow !
Lolo... i'm speechless... honestly!
this crow is so alive... i feel as if i can stretch my hand and touch its feathers... or her crown...
you have the most beautiful and the most insightful aritistic soul i've ever met...
crows and crowns for me too always go together...
your art crowns our soul... giving it power to rule over the sky of our thoughts...
namaste!
Greaaat! So dark and gorgeous!!
^_^
Oh Yeah! It looks great!- Take care! John
Hey- yes- 'all the world is a stage'
Beautiful staging here! Love it all- perfect pattern backdrop, and placement of the diva - the lighting design and wardrobe- perfect too!
Hopefully when the curtain falls on this world- there's another play to come- that is at least less dark- if at all dark.
Thank you for including me in the UB Award- it's truly a pleasure- uplifting to visit your studio here and I pass on the award back to you- always a bright spot to read your kind and thoughtful comments over at my studio . (As far as me and a 'wonderful outlook'- well... I have ione at least sometimes haha).
ione?- one
Nice Raven!
Ooooh, I just love eveything about this piece - the colors, the dramatic feel, the composition and your beautifully feathered friend. BTW, divas are overrated.
Nice illustration and nice words
Utterly amazing and mind blowing!
