Zen & the Art of Crows

“Zen & the Art of Crows,” pastel & charcoal drawing & photo by Elizabeth

Elizabeth photographed the living crows that became the subject of this drawing. She started the drawing with the pastel background then used charcoal to draw the crows after which, she erased the Buddhas.

Sylvia Gonzalez‘s art inspired this piece.

Even as a kid I've said it doesn't matter if I live to be 150: this life will be the blink of an eye. Poet, author, visual artist, photographer, educator and lover of life (though still working on the hard parts like Covid, violence, inequity), I'm completing a memoir inspired by and largely about dogs and people.
