The Raven - The Monastery Cat

acrylic on canvas - 40" x 24" - 1966

This painting appeared as a dream image. A few days later Barry stopped by, heading north from Southern California where he had spent a bit of time in a monastery. He shared a story about an experience he had there while viewing an early evening sky across a landscape that rolled down toward the sea. His descriptions involved a feeling of flight and included a pale catlike creature remarkably similar to the one in my dream.
