Thoreau Exhibit

The Raven Mavens have been so busy this past year that we haven't been able to keep the blog updated!  It's about time to share some of what we've been creating.

One of our more recent challenges was to create a piece based on a quote, which was voted on by the group.  We decided to to keep the size uniform, then mat and frame each one to 16" x 20".  These were on display at the Western Colorado Center for the Arts Member's Show in  2013.
