little owl in a collage


my first collage in a long time.  i found this paper today and was inspired to add it to my painting.. starting with a light background is different for me.  i just love bringing light into the dark, i leave just enough of the dark coming through to make the light shine.  if i loose that perfect shine, my devotion to the painting shifts.  here i made the shift.  hence the lack of excitement at the finished piece.  

oliver, my 3 year old, requested the owl weeks ago.  i thought it was very appropriate since we hear an owl often whoooing in the wee hours.  still in awe that my paintings have become so whimsical.  i am thoroughly enjoying myself!
