I painted another owl!

I painted another owl!

Dear Creative Friend,

Well, I said I’d do a series of owls and lo! I painted another owl, however, he was not happy about it. Look at his grumpy face! 😆  ->

He was all like: “Excuse me, here I was all nicely non-existing and then you, annoying painter, decided to try and paint me! I was have a relaxi non-existent time and felt NOT in the mood for being RUDELY conjured into life, being painted in ridiculous confetti colours, what were you thinking …” Needless to say; I wrestled with this owl but in the end, we had a good old chat and became friends! 😆😅😬
I even made a video about it for my youtube channel! What?
2 Videos in 2 weeks? That’s kind of unheard of in Tamland!
I’m so proud of myself.
Come listen to me warble/ twitter about how art imitates life and how life imitates art and that sometimes characters you create are telling you hilarious or challenging things and sometimes your struggles on the canvas reflect back the struggles in your life. And sometimes you discover that the grumpy character you created is actually YOU in real life, just disguised, as a colourful, grumpy, confetti owl! As they say: humans are just God in Drag. In my case; this grumpy owl is just me in confetti feathers. 😉  It’s all very fun with a cuppa, too. ♥️♥️♥️
