Courage and Wisdom Caught Me Napping

Title: Courage and Wisdom Caught Me Napping
Medium: Acrylic on panel
Size: 5x7 inches
Genre: Magic Realism

This is an allegory about how it's easier to remain comfortably asleep instead of waking to face the challenges that courage and wisdom have to offer. It's a study for a larger painting.

Owl Be There

I wanted to portray some magic in this little owl study-- hence the purple, as well as focus on the patterns in its feathers. To echo that, I put some patterning in the sky. This little fellow has been entered into the "Patterns" challenge at Daily Paintworks.
