The Owl’s Flight Chronicles
My Chronicles…the stories that danced with me through the creative process
…the thoughts that linger behind the images
Nursery Mural (sun detail)
I love this sun! It is part of the nursery mural and is such a happy, contented being that it just makes you smile. I've used this image on note cards and greeting cards...always a favorite!
Motherhood
This was a very special painting for my sister, Tina, after the arrival of her first child, Isabelle Rose. She is an amazing mother and her sheer joy and contentment in holding her beautiful baby girl somehow showed up on my canvas.
Moonlit Canoe
This painting dates back quite a few years, but I never tire of the feeling I get while looking at it...which is probably why it still hangs in my living room. I want to go to this place, though I have no idea where it is, and float the river under the moon. It is so...
Spirit of Freedom
A purple & blue fantasy of Woman's soul bursting forth...finding freedom in the cry of the wolf. Wolves are the epitome of the wild spirit. The wolf signifies finding a different path....starting a new journey. Do so with serenity (symbolized by the mermaid and ocean...
Fairy Kingdom
This painting was a gift for my baby sister who adored (and still adores) fairies. A mystical kingdom with its beautiful fairy lost in thought while gazing at the rushing water.
Christina (version 2)
When you have a beautiful sister, it is only natural to use her as a model. This painting is the second of two that I did based on the same gorgeous, black and white photo that was taken of her during her college days...blue eyed and blonde this time around.
Candy & Creations Sign
This was a very enjoyable custom sign for a dear friend who opened her own candy store. I had a great time deciding which candies should make up my little cottage, and especially loved the peppermint fence.
Bryce’s Mural
Bryce Anne is a very special girl in my life. She helped me decide every square inch of her bedroom mural. We spent a great deal of time studying her favorite books and deciding which elements should be included. Since Bryce & her family live 8 hours away from me; we...
Bryce’s Mural (sun detail)
The jolly sun that overlooks Bryce Anne's domain.
Bryce’s Mural (fairy detail)
Miss Bryce loves the artwork of Amy Brown! (I do too, so this request was especially fun to do!) Bryce decided what the fairy's costume would be, right on down to the iridescent paint and black & white striped stockings. Then we perched her "forever blowing bubbles"...
Dinosaur Mural
This mural decorated our son's room when he was just a little guy. All of his favorite prehistoric creatures...including Dazzle the Dinosaur (from a favorite book) paraded along his bedroom wall.
Sea Serpent Mural
The first mural I created for my children. They had a little nook upstairs filled with bean bag chairs, stuffed animals and books. It was a little bland and we decided to add some life to one wall. I will never forget how amazed they were when they realized Mom was...
Breaking Free
This painting expresses bursting onto the scene as an adult woman, no longer listening to everyone else's opinions...making your own decisions...growing up, but doing it in your own individual and unique way.
Blue Nude
This piece was an experiment with a new style for me. It is not as "finished" as my usual paintings...and I had to restrain my perfectionistic tendencies and NOT go back to add more detail. I was very pleased with the end result.
Meanderings
Hello, Welcome to the Owl's Flight blog. I have always enjoyed writing and collecting bits of prose or poetry that sing to me. This blog will be a very unorganized. loosely woven collection of thoughts, creative ideas and words that resonate within me. I will, of...
