Owl Song

Here's my piece for the "Picks of the Harvest" show at Thinkspace Gallery in LA. I'll have the final work plus the four prelim works, which Andrew has generously included in the show, framed. One has sold already!

The idea morphed several times, the initial idea was a tree wrapping around the girl, with glowing orbs of light, kind of like musical notes moving upwards, which were the owls. I changed it into a horizontal left to right format and tried to integrate everything into the pattern, and give each element its own life and place in the rhythm of the picture. I had to explore a lot of new areas of artmaking that I don't have maps for, going in blind a lot of the time, but that's where the real fun is anyway.
