This 'Sleepy Owl' is inspired by the one that visits us at times and hoots away at night. Living close to the bushland we see many animals and birds that inspire me to capture their personalities. Owls are considered a symbol of wealth, prosperity, good luck, and fortune.

Did you know in aboriginal culture the Native Owl Symbol represents a bird of wisdom and intuition, magic and prophecy. Owls are often seen as messengers and some healers call upon the Owl for insight into the truth of ill-intent and also believe the sound of the Owl was a call to summon the spirit world.

However you relate to owls I think they are a hoot and thoroughly enjoyed painting this sleepy fella.

Painted on a black background (it is night after all) and ready to add some magic and mystery to your wall. Sprayed lightly with varnish for protection.
