The story explains how Raven delivered the sun, moon, stars, and fire to humanity. These treasures are necessary for human survival, but came at the cost of Raven’s suffering. A powerful shaman, hostile toward people, had kept them hidden beneath the sea. Raven, disguised as a white owl, was able to win the shaman’s trust and grab the treasures. Raven then released them one by one for the benefit of humanity. When Raven carried the Sun his feathers were burned black and his claws shriveled, because he had to carry it so high and so long before he let it go in the sky. [A myth from British Columbia and the NW United States.]

Most of these paintings are acrylic on paper or board. They are sent in a 5 or 6cm-wide white or cream mount with mountboard backing to protect them in the post. They can easily be detached from this to be mounted or framed as you wish. Acrylic paint is waterproof when dry, so they are suitable for a kitchen or bathroom.
I have not so far been asked to accept a return, and paintings are quite easily damaged unless carefully packed, but if you are not happy with your purchase, I am willing to discuss it.
