There are times when all I want to do is paint an owl.
I have so much fun embellishing these little guys, that it just gets me back into having fun with my paintings again. So, if ever I start to get a little frustrated with my artwork (which generally happens whenever I’m pushing myself and trying something new)… I go back to painting an owl.
Once I am having fun painting again, then I feel more confident to experiment with new characters. But sometimes it just takes a little bit of what I’m most comfortable with to get there.

This white owl is all about taking calm, rest assured that in heart, the truth is known and from there follows BLISS.

I used to be afraid to raise my hand in class. I’d learned that my ways of thinking and seeing were different from everyone else.

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

Juliette, painting your gorgeous owls seems to be like coming home to you, and I can assure you that looking at each new one has the same feeling to us, we all identify you with them and their adorably unique sweetness.
