I've been in an owl frenzy, since taking Juliette Crane's class in Lifebook.
Here's another little whimsy owl, with a poem excerpt from
Mary Oliver "White Owl". The poem is beautiful. To read it in full visit this link http://www.panhala.net/Archive/White_Owl_Flies.html Misty Mawn referred to her in class. I took a small part from the poem , which I felt went nicely with this painting.
Done on 140 lbs. Arches watercolor paper in acrylics,fiber paste for body and wings, and glass beads medium for feathers. Homemade flower stamp on printing paper, and glued on watercolor paper with matte medium
Excerpt reads:
" Coming down out of the freezing sky
with its depths of light
like an angel, or a Buddha with wings"

Whimsical Flowers for you;-)))

Hello Dear online friends!

I've been creating whimsical

flowers the last couple of days!

When I signed up with Willowing's Ning site, I became

inspired in playing with my watersoluble crayons.I normally use them for backgrounds in my journal.

I was making purrty little faces when the idea of making flowers grew out of them;-))

I really enjoy creating these.

I use heavy watercolorpaper, and watercolor crayons

(this included watersoluble oil pastel, lyra watersoluble crayons and some caran d'ache.)

The butterflies and hearts embellishments were done with a puffy pen
