Armoires, birds and owls

The winter is more or less over and the projects I set myself are almost all done. They may not be exactly what I had set out to do, but you know that goes, they creates themselves.

First done was my Barn Owl. At about three feet by three feet, it is larger than the barn owl is in reality. The background night sky, again influenced by my visit to Australia.

Then, an old project came to mind, one from many years ago that I had never accomplished.
An armoire that is about 16" tall x 13" wide by about 2 1/2" deep on a base of about 8" x 16".
The painting is of gulls and sandpipers on a background from a photo I took in Ucluelet BC.

This is the exterior with a stressed paint finish.

This is the interior. Drawer contents yet to be determined.

Now, on to the diving pelicans and the carved fish swimming upstream.
