Perched on a branch of a gnarled old tree, a raven looks out over the landscape, its sharp eyes gleaming with mischief. This moment of cunning and intelligence is captured in a stunning watercolor painting that expertly conveys the raven's sly nature. No doubt, at the end of the day, it will be 'mischief managed.'
