Obvious I know - but I'm on the last lap with Illustration Friday this week. Despite lots of thought I couldn't get wise old owl out of my head. I wondered why an owl is considered wise in folklore and I think it's because they operate at night and so are linked with magic.This is my drawing put through lots of filters in photopaint.

i think the connection of wisdom with owls is because of athena the greek godess of wisdom. she is often pictured with an owl on her head.
nice owl in nice colours!

Your treatment of them makes it nice and fresh! I like them!
Wonderful color palette, lovely work!
I will never tire of seeing owls, and your Warhol approach is refreshing! Love the retro stripey background, too!
Lovely soft subtle pieces on these:)
I feel so peaceful & wise. Thanks.
