| In planning for a 'sticky situation', I thought of how love or having a crush on someone can be a sticky situation. Sometimes people don't know how to show how they feel - and that is the semi-humorous meaning behind my painting. |
 |
| The owl is flying towards the viewer, holding a human heart - poor, misunderstood fellow. He just can't figure out how to say how he feels. |
 |
| My repetition, as required for the project, is in the feathers, layered one right after the other. |
 |
| In thinking outside the box, I decided to attach real feathers to the canvas with hot glue, canvas scraps, and Guesso. |
 |
| Adding feathers provided the extra challenge of blending the painted feathers in with the real ones - something I hadn't tried to do before. |
 |
| When I finally finished Mr. Owl, I learned that mixed media is a challenging, yet rewarding concept for me - I will be doing more mixed media in the future! |
