Raven Placing the Stars Painting | Colorful Pet Portrait Paintings by Rebecca Wang

This unique painting is titled “Raven Placing the Stars”. It was created with acrylic paints on a 16″ x 20″ linen canvas panel, and completed in September 2023. It features a raven flying in the night sky among the stars, carrying a glowing orb in their beak, intending to place the glowing sphere in the sky as a star. I used a limited color palette consisting of mostly purples, blues, magenta, hot pink, and a touch of teal. I used the following reference photos: Carrion Crow in Flight by Aschi on Paint my Photo for the wings, and Raven by Linda Anderson on Paint my Photo for the head. I used a beat up old brush with splayed bristles to create the texture in the sky, and the stars were created by splattering titanium white paint on the canvas.

This painting is one in a series of mystical galaxy themed animal artworks that I have created over the years. I love combining the beautiful scenery of outer space with colorful animals in a slightly fantasy style painting that evokes feelings of awe and wonder. Other paintings in this series can be seen below.
