My garden in George has a few owls that come out at night with their haunting 'whoo' on the hunt for dinner, we have been privileged to experience such a symbolic bird in nature.
Owls seem to have always been the bird that sparks my creative imagination, as a bird that symbolizes different emotions, such as victory, wisdom or solitude, I find painting them,as seen in the below picture or capturing their essence in a woodcut print both eery and exhilarating.
““Do not trap yourself into an owl’s hooting sound Where sad nights linger through the blackness of a hound.””
