read a little somethin' to me, sweetheart

Two sweethearts, snuggle up against each other, while lazily reading a book. What a better way to spend the day? :)

Since it is summer, one of the things I have been doing is reading, and reading some more. It has been so nice to finally read all these books that have been patiently waiting for me to open the cover and begin.

Can I help it if my artwork has been inspired by this? I love to read, and of course as many of you probably know I love owls. Put two and two together, and this is what happens. Barn owls reading, but wait there's more, actually quite a bit more, since after this drawing I immediately proceeded to draw another drawing with a book and another. Can't wait to show you!

Also I am proud to announce that pretty soon my shop will be chock-a-block full of professional style prints!

More on that tomorrow, hope your weekend was fabulous!

XOXO, Callie

Owl Always Love You

I was commissioned by my dad to make a drawing for my mother as a gift for their wedding anniversary. This is the result. My mom loves loves loves owls, as I do, and so I thought this drawing would be perfect, especially since I just finished reading this book which I mentioned in this post. In there I learned that barn owls will mate for life, and if one of the pair dies the owl will become so depressed that it will stare off into space and die too.

I will be making this a print soon I think...but just wanted to show you since I am loving the way it turned out. It is just like how I envisioned it, which always makes me very happy!
