“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
……………….
This was one of those paintings that took layers and layers before I could uncover the characters.
The thing was, I had been trying to create something specific. And that never works.
Since I have been writing my novel lately, I decided I would like to paint some new Snooters.
So this girl started with a long, see-through nose before I realized I’d really been trying to reveal two characters.
Once I let go of the idea that I needed to paint a Snooter, everything fell into place.

I realized this piece was really about comfort and protection. And from there this painting got its story…
Protecting, calming, warning and comforting…from the monsters and dark nights, you can know I am ALWAYS WITH YOU. A light in the storm.

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
