(Bubo virginianus)

Full of dreaming and idleness.

The intensity of her gaze makes you stop, breathless momentarily, suddenly aware of what that stare means for those small critters destined for dinner. But her posture, calm and confident, completely authentic in the truest sense of the word. She is present, she is who she is without apology or question. And so she is deeply inspiring to you.

  • 7 x 7 in (18 x 18 cm)

  • Graphite Pencil

  • Fabriano Artistico 100% Cotton Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper 640gsm

ABOUT THIS PIECE

You will note this is the second Great Horned Owl in this collection, and I would draw a thousand more if I could. The shape of them, on a physical and metaphysical level, is simply breath-taking. There is a ferocity, a simple but profound “beingness”, a deep sense of place in the web of life. All aside from their remarkable plumage and intense gaze.

The name of this piece was inspired by the poetry of Mary Oliver, who wrote many words about owls, their at once mysterious and wholly grounded nature, and connection to all facets of the web of life.
