Barn Pins and Buttons
Description: This is my second owl watercolour piece after enjoying working on the first so much. For whatever reason they translate really well to paintings. This time I worked on a barn owl, there's a lot less detail in these types as opposed to the spotted eagle owl, so I tried out a new background technique to help the animal stand out more. I think this piece has a fantasy based quality to it, mixing the subject matter and the background, it wasn't my initial aim, but I do like the end result.
Description: Geometric patterns form a large central star surrounded by squares and smaller stars in varying shades of, blue, navy blue, brown, black, and white. The design is symmetrically intricate with a mix of earthy and vibrant tones. Amish Wooden Barn quilt photographed by Jean Plout.
