“I never made one of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking” ― Albert Einstein
…………….
This owl was one that reminded me to go with the flow and allow things to easily fall into place.
Sometimes I have to paint over and over a painting until it feels right. I usually don’t stop creating until my character’s eyes resonate with what I’m feeling in my heart.
But with these new DREAM OWLS I’ve been painting in my new online workshop HOW TO PAINT AN OWL 2, it’s more about having fun and letting the color and background shine.
For this piece, I knew it was all about staying soft like the watercolors in the background. And from there, this owl got her title and story…
This owl’s beliefs run deep. Trusting all has its place and purpose, WITH FAITH SHE SENDS HER HEART.
…………………
ps. Having so much fun in my new owl painting class… register at any time.

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading

Lovely Juliette! I really like the dimensional canvas, what did you use, I don't think I've seen anything like that before. Can't wait to start painting canvases and a dream owl of my own. One more thing, “I wear a fanny pack I make it look good” — love the lyrics in the music in the class videos – I get a big smile on my face!!
