Midweek post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a fun little owl painted in watercolours. It was a class from Tamara in Lifebook 21. Sorry the photos are not really clear, I need to set up my tripod when I have shaky fingers:






 And some thinkies / funnies:






Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot or coming by!

  1. It will be apparent to you, Valerie, that I am quite taken with this little owl, a sort of cross morphologically between several of the smaller species, but psychedelic in its plumage. I am wondering whether this is a bird you have seen in the bottomlands and swamps of Balconia-by-the-Rhine, perhaps obtaining fleeting glimpses, yet sufficient to imprint it on your mind, to be recalled later. Or perhaps in your misspent youth it was an apparition induced by magic mushrooms! I note that it is equipped with a crown and this quite puzzling since birds are not generally known to acquire external adornments. There is much room for study here, and I expect that you will be called on to share your wisdom with other experts. Your post seems to imply that you intended to include pictures, but I don't see any. The owl is enough, however. I shall dream of it tonight! I am leaving my comment this evening since I am leading a bird walk tomorrow and have things to do before I leave. By now you are probably about to go to bed, or perhaps are already there, so sweet dreams. Hugs and kisses. David

    1. Hi David! I thought this colourful little owl would quickly be spotted by your trained eye, and I'm sure you don't have one in like it in Canada! I think the mushrooms might have been more to blame than anything else! But as you know, Balconia is a place where we regularly see strange apparitions, and these days more likely to be seen by old ladies in their dotage wandering about and seeing strange thing! I didn't add any pictures last night, my fingers were too painful, so I kept it short. My posts usually go live at midnight and by then I am already snoring into my pillow case. I don't think I dreamed of anything, I read for while and then went to sleep quite quickly. Enjoy your bird walk, have fun, and take good care of yourself! Big hugs, Valerie

  5. That owl is so much fun. I love the drawing and the colors. He is a happy guy. He would also make a great design on a mug for you to have your cappuccino in. I hope your hands aren't shaking too much and your week is going well. Hugs-Erika

  6. I absolutely adore your very colorful and very unique owl. Well done, dear. Shaky fingers or not, this is one clever owl you created.

    LOVE that last meme. I wonder if aliens would wonder what we are like if they ever visited. Have a super day, dear.

    1. I think the Aliens are already among us when I think of some of the Politicians and world leaders, as most of them are definitely rather inhuman! Have a great day! Hugs!

  15. Cute little owl! I remember painting owls in Tamara's quirky bird class (or was it part of a Life Book several years back? I can't remember...) I love painting quirky birds, it's so much fun!
