Barn Owl

 

 

 

Western White Alabaster

11x11x15"

 

The bird stretches one wing out as he wakes for his night flight.
When I lived in Florida a barn owl lived in my neighbors palm tree.
By day, you could see his moon shaped face asleep in the top of the tree
and by night hear his piercing screech. He kept us all safe from those
big citus rats and did it with such grace. I love the curving almost abstract
shape of their faces. The beautiful subtle veins and spots in various shades
of white add depth to this piece without taking away from its strong gesture.
