Owl in the Birches
A barn owl sits perfectly still among the white birches, watching. Not alarmed — just present, the way owls always seem to be. Green leaves frame the scene, the birch trunks rise in layers around it, and beneath it all, if you look closely, the surface is alive with color — pencil, oil crayon, watercolor, acrylic, and layered collage paper all working together to give the forest a depth and texture that feels almost three-dimensional.
Barbara considers the owl one of her animal totems, and it shows. This is not a painting of an owl so much as a painting of what an owl means — patience, stillness, wisdom, and the quiet confidence of a creature that belongs exactly where it is.
Available as a framed and matted original or as a print. Both are 14" × 18".
Original: Color pencils, oil crayons, watercolor, acrylic, and pre-made paper collage. 14" × 18", framed and matted. Print: Reproduction of original artwork. 14" × 18". Shipping is additional.
