Collie's Owl

It's been a long summer and I have been off my wagon for sometime. But I am back and the creative mind is working. I have decided to do a series of paintings based on the season of fall. Portraying some of my very close friends as models in the paintings. The idea is the manifestation of fall through mankind. I believe to a certain extent my friends and I are pretty down to earth. As artist, we find beauty in our environments and artistically develop our ideas through our mediums. And I love fall. I mean I really love fall. The colors, the leaves, It is just beautiful, I could not think of a more magical season to paint.

Just a few step by step phases of my work.

I really enjoyed painting this owl. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. Like 3 hours. Lol.. I think it is because I am retarded sometimes. I fuss too much.

Blocking in colors. The usual.

Almost there.

And done. Look for a scan soon guys.

  1. Wow, I like this a lot. Especially the background, there's enough subtle detail to keep me staring at it for a while. Also:

    Please allow me to nerd out for a moment over the title. :)
    "Collie's Owl" reminded me of "Cowly Owl," the translation of the phrase "Vachement Chouette," which in French means "really really cool."

    And yes, again, the piece is awesome.
