ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This Pacific Northwest inspired painting shows a Great Horned Owl taking a little nap in a woodland setting between pine trees and Dough firs. I took the reference photo for this owl painting while I was on a birding outing here in Oregon. Spotting this Great Horned Owl in the wild took my breath away! It's such a majestic bird! While I was in awe, this beautiful owl was just relaxing and took a nap on a tree stump surrounded by the green of the pine trees. I hope this painting will remind viewers of the magic in the nature that surrounds us and that an awe inspiring moment might just be hidden away between branches when we least expect it. I created this owl artwork with an underpainting of acrylic, then finished it with professional quality oil paint on 16” x20” canvas. This owl painting, named “Sweet Slumber," brings the beauty of this amazing bird and nature indoors for your home decor, office environment or medical practice. This painting will ship unframed so you can choose a frame to match your decor. Items other than the painting in photographs are for illustration only and will not ship with the art. All of my designs and illustrations are copyrighted to me and copyrights are not transferable with sale. Because of the variation of computer monitors, colors may look slightly different.

Sitting at my childhood dining table about an hour south of Amsterdam is where my love for creating art began. With a stack of white paper and a simple pencil, I tried to capture the interesting faces in my mom’s magazines or made line drawings of animals and plants. I was born and raised in the Netherlands but have lived in Portland, Oregon USA for many, many years now. I feel fortunate to live with my family in an area surrounded by such inspiring beauty in nature. I hope viewers of my art feel a deep connection with nature through my work. I enjoy working with professional grade paint on canvas in contemporary style, using layering techniques to create depth and spontaneous brushstrokes to convey movement. My subjects often radiate joy and positive energy which I strive to communicate through my colorful paintings. While our world can be so challenging and complicated, my art celebrates the simple joys.
