Buckman Mural--Finished!

Wow, it's been a busy summer! I finished the mural at Buckman Elementary school, have done more portraits and work for my clients, am getting ready to start another new business (more details soon!), and have been running around playing with Indigo while she's out of school. It's been a lot of fun, but Indigo and I are both looking forward to the routine of school starting up again in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I promised pictures of the mural!

You may or may not remember the sweet owl that I encountered in the park a few weeks ago, but I did end up painting him. Twice, actually. The painting above, and the one below, which one of my very dear friends Melissa bought from me :)

I had a lot of fun painting him, and I don't think I'm finished. I really enjoy how, while I used the same basic composition for both pieces, they each have a different sort of character to them. A friend of mine, who was with me when we found the owl, tells me that owls have very strong medicine, and that he/she was bringing us a message. What that message was, I am not sure, but I am very grateful for being allowed to capture him on film and in paint.
