Description

Available for purchase at my etsy shop:
TheLUUvre.etsy.com

The ghostly tree, the flickering candle flames, and the owl with the piercing gaze emerge from a snow-struck landscape chased by roiling storm clouds. What message have they for you on this darkening winter's night?

EDIT 10/05/12: OMG A DD and soooo many faves!!! Thank you all so much!

Just a little something for the winter hols. Someone pointed out to me that I have a lot of stuff that's fall-ish and springy, but not a whole lot that has the mood of winter.

This is now available as a notecard/greeting card! Head on over to my etsy shop and check it out!

A beautiful winter scene. Brilliant in detail.. The art work has a dream like quality. The colors are soft in the surrounding area of the subject. We are pulled to the center with more sharp and intense color. The eyes of the owl are the most expressive in rich golden hues. They seem to look directly at the viewer. There is even a glint of light from the candles in them. The detail in it's plumage is superve. The talons are very detailed. This is quite an original piece and is sure to please anyone who gets it as a greeting card.
