I’m a night person. I’m a night owl. And I spend a lot of time looking at the moon and stars.
So it was fun to paint this little guy.

I made a barn owl tonight. It was really, really fun. I love owls.
This took a few hours, not too long. Lots of white, pale violet, strong browns, black.
I love using a natural palette like this especially when I can throw a bit of bright behind it. It’s kind of backwards, usually the brighter colors pop forward but once in a while there’s an opprtunity to defy the laws of color theory and use the subtle hues and the foreground.I had a great time doing this tattoo…
My road trip continues tomorrow, when I get to go stalk the wild and mighty javelinas with my camera. After that a few more tattoos on the fine folks here in AZ, and then it’s off to see my sweet gentleman friend up in Seattle.
