While painting Sparkle, I found myself thinking about the little things that bring me joy—the shimmer of sunlight across the ocean, raindrops resting on flower petals after a summer rain, the feeling that something magical is just around the corner.

Tiny pieces of gold leaf drift across the owl’s crown, while fragments of tissue paper collected on my very first trip to the beach are layered within the paint. They peek through here and there, becoming part of the painting’s story.

Owls continue to be one of my favorite subjects to paint. There’s something about their wise presence, dynamic wings, and solid guidance that keeps calling me in my work.

This is an original 30″ x 30″ mixed media painting on stretched canvas by artist, Juliette Crane.

The sides are 1.5 inches deep, so the painting continues over the edges and it is ready to hang with or without frame.

Each painting is created and shipped out of Madison, Wisconsin.

All of my originals are protected with a matte, archival finish. Signed, titled and dated on the back.

If you are outside the U.S.A. and Canada, please email me and I will put your painting on hold while we discuss your shipping options at info [!at] juliettecrane.com
