STOP! (or my gun will shoot)
This painting was produced quickly -- with a lot of anger, disbelief, and sadness. With two horrible shooting tragedies in one week, gun violence was weighing heavy on my mind. As I listened to one of my favorite political podcasts late into the night, and with no easy answers, this is what bubbled up.

A long time ago, the raven looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world were living in darkness. The ball of light was kept hidden by a selfish old chief. So the raven turned itself into a spruce needle and floated on the river where the chief's daughter came for water. She drank the spruce needle. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy which was the raven in disguise. The baby cried and cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to play with. As soon as he had the light, the raven turned back into himself and carried the light into the sky. From then on, we no longer lived in darkness.
