Corvus is a widely distributed genus of medium-sized to large birds in the family Corvidae. The genus includes species commonly known as crows, ravens, rooks and jackdaws; there is no consistent distinction between "crows" and "ravens", and these appellations have been assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size. In Europe, the word "crow" is used to refer to the carrion crow or the hooded crow, while in North America, it is used for the American crow, fish crow, or the northwestern crow. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon-sized jackdaws (Eurasian and Daurian) to the common raven of the Holarctic region and thick-billed raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 40 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents except South America, and several islands. The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the family Corvidae. The members appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. The collective name for a group of crows is a 'flock' or a 'murder'.[1] Recent research has found some crow species capable of not only tool use, but also tool construction.[2] Crows are now considered to be among the world's most intelligent animals[3] with an encephalization quotient equal to that of many non-human primates.[4] In medieval times, crows were thought to live abnormally long lives. They were also thought to be monogamous throughout their long lives. They were thought to predict the future, to predict rain and reveal ambushes. Crows were also thought to lead flocks of storks while they crossed the sea to Asia

LARRY CAVENEY AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS by Mat Gleason What appear to be paintings from separate Larry Caveney series are actually held together in their conceptual approach, much as their subject matter might differ. They say dancers are as much athletes as those paid to play sports so there is a thread of connection there too. But look closer at what the artist does, the four elements are visible in all this work. Water: The element at the core of Caveney’s practice is the liquid paint he moves around to complete a composition. Frozen water is still water and the permanence of what he leaves can be seen as a purposeful, eternal splash. Air: The motion depicted here cuts through the air, swirls it all about, be it a dancer’s twirl across the ballroom floor or the bat of a superstar cutting toward the oncoming ball. In these pictures the air is disrupted by greatness and the painting captures this disruption. Fire: The energy on display burns with the heat of the subject’s intent but also the artist’s as well. The layers of meaning are derived from having captured the explosion of heat, each picture of Caveney’s is defined by what the subject burns. Earth: The solid object of the pictures is a manifestation of the element of earth. Even when depiction creates illusionistic space, even when the artist captures crystal moments in time and articulates their magic, the object itself is what guarantees its permanence, its earth. Larry Caveney is a painter, an artist and as evidenced by this work, an elemental magician.
