Art: Nevermore: Edgar Allan Poe Tribute Portrait by Artist Patience

My entry for this month's Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC), the theme for November being 'Two or More Creatures Mixed Together", features a tribute portrait of the esteemed American author and poet, Edgar Allan Poe. Painted in acrylics on a recycled, 6.5" x 8.5" vintage wood plaque, this original is signed and ready to hang.

Allow me to introduce "Ravenpoe" (kind of like "Ivanhoe", but not...). A corvid/Edgar Allan Poe hybrid, he perches high upon a tree branch, soaking up the moonlight while contemplating the maudlin and the macabre. Painted as a loving ode to E. A. Poe's much beloved, classic poem, "The Raven", I'm hoping you enjoy this piece as much as I did painting it (to note, this is my second Edgar Allan Poe tribute -- the first one can be seen here....)....:

"ONCE upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,â€”
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'T'is some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door;
Only this and nothing more..........." ~The Raven, by E.A.Poe
