Thursday Art Date with Rain: Supernatural

I had to think hard about, what "Supernatural" means to me. I'm still not sure. But sometimes the full moon has a supernatural beauty. So I sketched out another moon gazing hare. Some time soon I need to finally make some watercolors from my gazillion sketches. *LOL* 

Last month I already made these linoprint cards from my hare motif. It was the first one I tried to cut in linoleum, after doing that for the last time in school.

I think there must have been a lot of supernatural sightings and events in our ancestors lives. Like meteor sightings or the behavior of animals. I sketched this raven last year and added a verse from the Grimnismal, a mythological poem from the Poetic Edda.

I really liked how the raven turned out and I'm also a big admirer of Sue Coleman's art. I didn't want to copy one of her works exactly, so I went more with the Celtic style to illustrate the mirrored raven. Ravens are very intelligent animals and sometimes their skills seemed to be "supernatural", too.
