Name: “The Owl”, Medium: Charcoal and Water Colour, by Vikram Roy © Copyright 24 July 2012
Last Sunday I had begun a painting of an owl! Yesterday night I completed the bird. In India the owl brings lucky charm, a mythical creature related to the goddess of fortune, Lakshmi. There is a small story behind this painting.
On a mango tree at the east end of my friend’s apartment; an owl was appearing for a couple of days. My friend asked me for a cute owl to frame it to remember the beautiful nocturnal creature. Now this painting is framed and kept by a German family in München.
Painting Details:
Name: The Owl
Surface: Artist Paper
Medium: Mix Medium (Charcoal, Water Colour and Permanent Marker)
Paper Size: 42×30 cm
The Owl Size: (On paper: 18.5×8 cm)
With love and hugs!

I LUUUUUUUUUUUUV this!
I’m a big fan of owls, and this is a very nice piece of work. Though not true-life style, but rather, abstract, you capture the feeling of the owl’s nature very well. It’s a very soothing image….
Well done….
I have been enjoying your blog for a while now. Are you featured in the new York area at any Galleries?

Such a warm and whimsical image. Just lovely and thanks for the bit of mythology to go with it, the owl is such a potent symbol of wisdom and stoicism. x
Beautiful, Vikram, wonderful job!
How beautiful! It reminds me of my grandma. She liked owls a lot so had several art pieces of owls around her house when I was growing up. Thank you…

You have gold in your soul – don’t let it sold by the owl. (Ariel Voinescu)
Dear friend Ariel Voinescu, “don’t let it sold by the owl”…, not get it !! Btw Thanks and hugs!
In the North American Indian tradition the owl is a powerful and very sacred bird. Wisdom, clairvoyance, seeing through deception and discovering the truth of everything.
The expression is great! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love it! I have the perfect place for him on my wall.
Most welcome! Love, big big hugs and kisses!

Great picture & story! I had an owl that lived right outside of my bedroom window when I was in high school. my mother used to send me owl cards when I was away at college. They have a special place in my heart

May the wisdom of the owl speak through your poems and show in your art. Well done.
