Spirit of the North
80x60 cm, oil on canvas
I love owls. To me, they represent wisdom, freedom, and fierceness. While painting this painting I sat up several late nights in a row, when one night I hear an owl hooing in a nearby tree. It was such a lonesome sound. By the second night, he was back hooing in our garden. On the third night, he sat there hooing while I was painting when suddenly there was a second owl answering his cry – he was no longer alone.
