"The Year Of The Snowy Owl"

This umbrella I just finished today, is based off one or two Snowy Owls being sighted here in Michigan, due to shortening of Lemmings in the arctic. Lemmings take up most of the stomach in a Snowy Owl, so the Snowy's came down South to search for food! The quote "The Year Of The Snowy Owl" on the umbrella is based off of that.

This umbrella will be auctioned off in Harbert Michigan the 18th of August, here is a link for information:http://www.harborcountry.org/umbrellasofharbert/

 Well anyway, I had a blast painting this umbrella! It was only tricky to start the whole thing, but once I got "in" it, I had a lot of fun!

  1. Well, Jos, I love this one. Can't wait to see the umbrella in person. It sure came a long way. The stars and moon and lettering really help fill it out.

  2. That's beautiful, Josie! I agree with your dad, the lettering, stars and moon really set off that huge, powerful owl. Well done!

  3. Josie, you never cease to amaze me. It is difficult to paint an umbrella without it turning into a hot mess, but I knew you could do it. Through the medium of paint you managed to bring the Snowy Owl to life, and your interpretation of his spirit is beautiful. Well done, not so little girl! ;)

  4. Josie, this is absolutely amazing. I love it. I might have to commission an umbrella come fall. That is of course if you are accepting commission. You might be too busy!!!

    You're talent is awesome. Please keep it up!!!
