TITLE: Dance In The Moonlight. Prints available in my etsy shop.
i painted this piece after attending the solstice celebration. i’d fallen in love with all of the drumming and dancing beneath the moonlight! it was such a fabulous way to enjoy the snow and really appreciate a change in the season, knowing that with celebration and gratitude, there is always light.
i hope you all had a wonderful new year’s celebration! cheers to all of the best for everyone for 2011!

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.
