i’ve been creating all sorts of videos for my HOW TO PAINT AN OWL E-Course… and this little owl is one that I’ve finished and recorded from start to finish! it’s been amazing to watch my painting process from a new point of view and to see just how much each piece evolves!
i had so much fun painting in the background and used lots of stencils i’ve cut by hand. originally, there was a little birdie that would’ve been over his shoulder…right where he ended up looking in the end.
once the owl came to life, i couldn’t figure out just what he was looking at and painted that tree over, i think, five times. i’m really excited that he’s definitely looking at something and couldn’t decide if it’s something he’s walking away from or considering walking towards.

but i know that this piece expresses a feeling of moving towards hopes and dreams, knowing that everything I’ve experienced in the past always helps move me towards and prepares me for
WHAT LIES AHEAD.

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
