Owls

My sister commented that I didn't seem like I was having much fun with the daily paintings, and I have to admit that she was right.  I haven't been able to find a style/content that gets me excited about the format.

So to 'loosen up' a bit, I decided to do some images just from my head (not reference images).  I like owls and make them all the time in glass, but I haven't painted them.  So here are a couple of cuties.

I suspect the appeal of the owls has more to do with their head/eye proportions than any innate positive qualities, but oh well.  They are cute.

Can you tell that I've done quite a few children's books?  ;)
