Oil Over Mixed Media on Canvas 

Ready to hang 

In "Whispers of Knowing," I've sought to capture the profound wisdom held within the silent gaze of the barn owl. This creature, often associated with hidden knowledge and intuitive insight. Painted with layers of oil over mixed media, the textured depths of the indigo night provide a backdrop for the owl's luminous presence. The touches of soft gold that fleck its plumage and the surrounding branches hint at moments of sudden clarity, those flashes of understanding that illuminate our path.

For me, the owl represents the power of observation, the importance of stillness in seeking truth, and the ability to see beyond the surface. Its gentle posture belies a deep awareness, a quiet knowing that resonates with the core of our own intuition. This piece is an invitation to pause, to listen to the subtle whispers of your own inner wisdom, and to trust the quiet guidance that resides within. It is a reminder that in the stillness, true understanding unfolds.
