"Nevermore": Edgar Allan Poe Tribute Portrait


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,— 
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
