The Wise Old Owl

 

This is a multi media piece I did unfortunately I have yet to figure out the trick to having that show in photos. There are 4 layers over a canvas the first layer is music note patterned scrap book paper that I glued on to the canvas. The second layer is another scrapbook paper with clocks and gears that taped together then cut a large circle out of and clued that to the background for the moon. Once my first two layers were dried I applied a thin coat of paint. The third layer is another scrape book paper this time with a wood grain which I used to make my tree, and just like the first two once cut, taped, glued down and dried I dry brushed highlights and low lights over the tree. The last layer is owl with his candle and the little green leaves. These were done on canvas paper then carefully cut out and glued on to the rest of the painting. All the paint is acrylic and there is a clear glaze over the eyes to reflect light.
