I love painting ravens! This pair posed for my camera most obligingly, so I have lots of reference photos of them being ravens. The posture, with the fluffed-up head feathers and "baggy pants" is very expressive. It indicates territoriality and dominance. Ravens use body posture for very complex communication - which is one of the reasons they are so fun to watch - and to paint!
