Self Portrait as Great Horned Owl #2

$750.00

Fine line marker and watercolor on paper, 2022

Once I had met Great Horned Owl’s eyes, it was time to fly. In this piece, I play with the tension between the raptor’s fierceness and silence. Isn’t it remarkable how death, and life, can come so quietly? I burst our forms a bit, tossing pen dashes all the way to the frame’s edge, matching the speed and ferocity of the swoop.

This original framed mixed media artwork features energetic watercolor splashes underneath intricate fine-line marker ink on paper. The artwork is presented in a premium-quality custom walnut frame with double mat which is reflected in the price.

The Process of Converging

The watercolor backgrounds in these works come first, before I even know what shapes will be merging into the main character. In this piece I knew I was going to play with tumult and fling. When our outstretched hand-talons lined up perfectly with that mid-day splash, I knew the artwork’s soul was present.
