Humans have long been fascinated by the mystery of the raven. Throughout Europe, Asia and North America, early peoples told stories of raven gods and their deeds. This raven sits alone on a gnarled branch, staring vigilantly into the mountain mist. His eyes scan the sky, watching for predator, prey or anything in between. Like all of Daniel Smith's realistic wildlife scenes, Mountain Sentinel places the viewer instantly in the wilderness habitat of his subject.
