Silver Drops Falling
A sumi painting of a great-horned owl, with kanji text roughly translating to "drops of silver rain fall" - a passage from a Japanese (Ainu) poem about an owl deity.
I have always been entranced by the beautiful camouflaged spots of these owls, looking like little droplets of silver and gold - I found the poem inspiring, beautiful, and fitting.
8" x 10" Sumi ink on rice paper.
The original is sold, but I have prints available here: http://foxloft.com/image/sumiowlweb

This is very nice! You are hitting an interesting look with these, it is Japanese like, but still not exactly Japanese. Hard to explain. I guess I would never confuse it with an actual old Japanese painting but I can clearly see the conection and the inspiration! A unique look all your own!
