9" x 12" Watercolor on Paper; unframed.
With its burning, amber eyes and crown of branching horns, the owl-like creature in Owl Totem stands as both guardian and omen. Its head seems to shed fragments—seeds, embers, or ideas—into the air, while its cloaked body suggests a figure halfway between spirit and forest sentinel. The painting captures the tension between wisdom and wildness, portraying the totem as an ancient mediator between natural and supernatural realms. It radiates quiet authority but also unpredictability, like an old forest that shelters and threatens in equal measure. Owl Totem is a portrait of primal knowledge—mysterious, unspoken, and deeply rooted.
