A NEW Mixed Media Owl Painting! - Love Me Still!

LOVE ME STILL. Original (SOLD). Prints are available in my etsy shop.


























I haven't been painting too many owls lately. But I'd been stuck on a girl painting and thought I'd start a new little painting and this white owl just appeared.

He actually changed quite a bit. It seemed I was either unhappy with his color or form. And then I just didn't like that spot up above his shoulder. I tried paper after paper, trying to figure out just what needed to be there. I was thinking fireflies, but to no avail...they just wouldn't work out. 

The thing that clicked? When I searched for new supplies and found an old postcard in my paper bin. What I loved about it was the text...lines to a poem, entitled LOVE ME STILL.

To me, this owl is all about peeling back the layers to find the true, sometimes imperfect beauty that exists underneath.

Have a lovely weekend!

  5. I know you teach a lot of people how to paint owls...and I think you do an awesome job of teaching them because I have seen many of your students post their work, which is lovely. But there are still none quite like yours who seem very deep and soulful.
