"Out on a Limb 1 and 2" by Astrid Paustian

Watercolor, 12" x 9", $225.-
Oil on canvas panel, 12" x 9", $325.-
My friend Tom Weeks, gifted photographer from Boulder, Colorado, generously allowed me to paint his new owl photo, taken last week. This young owl hatched in late March, and is looking out into the new world.
I tried both, an oil and a watercolor version, these past 2 days, fascinated by the expressive face in a "bundle of fluff".

"Althea" - contemporary great horned owl painting by Kate Dardine

This is painting #42 of my Painting a Day project. It is a 12x12" oil on stretched canvas - a bit larger than my usual daily paintings. I am donating "Althea" to a fundraiser for "Memories in the Making", an art therapy program for Alzheimer's patients. I was "paired" with a patient who had painted a lovely silhouette of an owl - you can read about the program on my Facebook fan page (and become a fan, too, if you'd like!) or you can read about the program on my blog (and subscribe too, if you'd like!)

"Owl Waits" by Kate Dardine

Painting # 31 of my Painting A Day project. She looks a little annoyed as she waits, clinging to the top of the post in the light of the full moon. Perhaps she is waiting for her mate, or for dinner to scurry by in the tall grass below. Or perhaps she is waiting for you to put your plans into action, to stop holding on to the past and to fly fearlessly into the future. Available at Old Town Art and Framery.
