I love birds, but my favorite are falcons and owls. The falcon started finding me about 3 years ago. I was out walking and there in a tree in front of me it was sitting, just looking, so I stopped to say hi. There are only a couple in my neighborhood, so I felt very happy to have been so close to one. From that first visit, falcons started flying around me. I just love their presence.
On the other hand, the owl has been with me for awhile. My first visit was when I was living in Vancouver, BC about 18 years ago. I was out walking in a very forested area, and out of the corner of my eye something was flying towards me. This owl landed in a tree right in front of me. I was in awe and I felt so wonderful for having such an amazing bird in my company. We sat together for about 5 minutes.
I just love how birds fly through the air without making a sound, their quiet strength and grace sits inside my heart. These 2 drawings are in honor of these beautiful birds.
