Karen Davis: Owl Hangers

It didn't take me long to admire and fall in love with Karen Davis' artwork. She has a beautiful blog named - Moonlight and Hares - and while reading about her amazing works I came across these owl hangers that she hand painted a while ago. Aren't these stunning?

You'll find her artwork often contains animals like owl and fox which artist shares that she uses "in a symbolic way. I've always been interested in stories using animals. Fairytales and superstitions relating to them. I use them as the inbetween link between us and the earth or ethereal world I suppose? The owl sat amid the starlit forest in my painting  'The Keeper Of Time' for instance is just that an owl, but is also reminding us of wisdom and the passing of time. Or a wisdom lost over time."

The hangers are no longer available but if you like her work then you must visit her online store for other wonderful creations.

I am loving these beautiful watercolor paintings by Yuri Shimojo an artist born in Japan. "Her upbringing in Tokyo was a very unconventional one – learning Japanese traditional arts and experiencing foreign culture through traveling abroad. These two elements, so drastically different, have influenced her work throughout her entire life."

"Through my paintings I try to capture the tingle of happiness"

Berlin based artist Meredith Gaston's watercolor illustrations are sure to bring smile to both the young  and the young at heart. I adore her use of warm colors and simple forms portraying relationships, animals (like owl, zebra and swan) and day to day activities in a whimsical world.

She celebrates the beauty of everyday with her artwork  "Life can be profoundly enriched by taking joy and inspiration from the mystery and magic of simple pleasures in daily life."

Her paintings are is available for purchase at Canterbury and Art2Muse gallery.
