‘Falling into Silence’
Watercolour painting of Tawny Owl on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Painted area: 61×51cm (18×14”)
Appearing from the deep blue of the evening sky, a tawny owl drops to the ground silently.
Exploring the valley where I live at dusk is a different experience and I have been fortunate to observe our local tawny owl - from a distance - several times this year. That utter softness and stealth! Seeing it resting in stillness, or flying silently, I feel it as an absence - a velvet blackness that seems to absorb all surrounding sound. A secret presence. It is as if we have to wake up a part of ourselves to be able to see and meet it.
Available unframed or framed in white solid wood frame.
