As I mentioned earlier this week, I began painting a Wise Old Owl for my daughter’s fourth birthday (which is this Saturday). It’s been years since I lifted an acrylic covered paint brush to canvas. Plus, the fact that I’ve been battling a wicked sinus cold made this task all the more daunting!

However, the peacefulness and ease of painting quickly came back to me. I almost forgot how much I loved to paint. It’s a hobby that has been overtaken by other joys such as baking, gardening, reading and sewing. It’s funny, I never expected this gift for my daughter to be a gift to me. I’ve decided to take up this beloved hobby once again.

He’s not exactly The Wise Old Owl from Mr. Dressup but he’s pretty close! I wanted to frame the art in an old frame but I ended up painting a frame on the canvas… I think it does the trick.

Hand painted wise old owl that I made for my daughter's birthday!

I can’t wait for my daughter to see him! I hope she likes him… his eyes don’t move back and forth like the Mr. Dressup owl and he doesn’t talk but that’s all in a four-year-old’s imagination right!?
