Description Happy New Year for everyone! ^__^

This is my artwork for one calendar, for november Yellow color and the dog are simbols of earth, so I drew what my native land looks like in november. Hoarfrost, wind, and expectation of a miracle!

Watercolours, about 3 daus of work

Not only your native homeland ! Crows and dog (or coyote) are really present in the native american culture and mythes, to not speak about all the European variations !

It was an illustration for the calendar in the year of the yellow dog, which in China is a symbol of native land D There is no mythical background here - just my associations from how looks the forest outside my window in November ^^

Colder than where I currently live !


Here in the South of China, it seems that we are still in the end of summer, slowly entering in autumn.


Still, the dog and the crow are as common as they possess a lot of symbolism in almost every country.

Be aware of the dog

....
Then I was in China I physically felt how my flesh dripping under the sun from my bones q___q So hot and too hot! 
(but the beauty of your country and culture is worth it! <3)

We have -20 of frost on the street now and snowdrifts xDDD

And thank you ^^

You're welcome, here we have a "normal" 20 (without the minus) degree, no snow at all, not even rain.


And I'm in Guangzhou now, so one of the most developped city in China (and in the world), for living. So I'm not enchanted every day like a normal visitor !


Still, there are breathtaking landscapes and architecture, with a very rich culture (and a language very difficult to learn for an European...). Anyway, I take some inspiration from China in my work as well, difficult not to after 1 year and half now !


But your painting, with the greys and blue, express very well the feeling of the cold, even if the orange dog brings a lot of warmth. So, very nice choice of colors, bringing spontanously mental images from Siberia.

Beautiful composition and colourscheme. You explained what the colour yellow and the dog stands for. May I ask what the ravens/ crows and blue colours stand for? Just curious. I love stories...

Hello! I'm very-very sorry for so LONG answer %"DD
So! Blue colors are for this month - in November you are sharper starting to feel a lack of light before you get used to it as in winter. 

It was literally October just now and you walked in the light of sunset at seven in the evening. And now WHAIT why it's so dark in five of evening?? xDD If there was now sun today the light part of day is very-very gray and dreary - and this is very common for this month. But at dusk it's start to be in beautiful deep blue colors with white shine of snow. This is a very brief moment but also very atmospheric, before the night begins.
And the crows are living in the forest where I live xDD I often see them then go for a walk but involuntarily I associate them with the dark November

Like raven’s wings summer days
Fall away with the leaves
Giving way to autumn rays
As the sun’s reach slips away

From raven wings to duskier things
A wolf shall guard the moon
His sweet song calling her into
The ever-darkening sky

So entranced, she stays
And listens to his song
Protested by a tangle of brambles 
And sweet, sweet berries
Soon lost to the sunshine.

N-no, it’s fine!! Just a little startled is all. Not used to my little poems and short stories being read, or at least being responded to at all. T’is rare, but I do not mind. 

It is okie! No worries dude or dudette.

Lovely picture and I love the symbolism in it. Canada looks very much like this in the winter including the flock of ravens. Like
your country we just live and wait for the warmth of Spring.
