Owl Masqueradeby *aruarian-dancer

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Fantasy

©2013 *aruarian-dancer

"Owl Masquerade" was one of the prompts at last weekend's Sketch Fest #32. The original graphite sketch was lined over in sepia colored pencil before coloring in watercolor. This is the finished version. Vellum (140 lb.) 5" x 7". I've done a masked lady with a barn owl before. I love all kinds of owls, but am particularly fond of barn owls with their mask-like faces. My scanner sees shades of brown relatively well, so this was not as frustrating to adjust as some of my other pieces.

Daily Deviations

HelicaseHelio and I were always sitting on the stairs, chatting about the lamina and occasionally making snide remarks about ribosomes. There wasn't much for us to do. Our job was to simply be, and let the RNA scribble down the letters on our foreheads when they came around every once in a while. Helio was a G, I was a C. It wasn't exactly fulfilling, I suppose. There wasn't much to be filled. So to pass the time, we talked.
"You ever wonder?" Helio asked.
"About what?"
"About...well...what's out there." Helio and I were rooted to the stairs, quite happily, but it was awkward to move in. He kind of twisted in the general direction of the closest pore. "Out in the cytoplasm."
"I haven't," I admitted. "What's there to wonder about?"
"That's exactly the thing. I have no idea." Helio sighed, gazing into the distance. "Somehow it feels like we play this huge, huge role in something important, but how can we when we don't even know what that something is? I want to be something that, that has

What Am I?     Lingering in that photo...

In that simple shot (still, I feel the bullet there)
I look, and I see a woman.
I am not a woman.

I have never worked for a lifestyle,
given birth for an allowance
I have never truly loved a man.
I am not a woman.

I do not have the means to
     Transport
myself
to wake, feel the calling..(oh, it calls, but I do not answer)
and move, move, move
until I reach a place of
astonishing beauty.
I am not a woman.

Sometimes, I still take the
     Weight
of my childhood and
place it on shoulders of
self-doubt.

and
