This is my submission for Art Explosion Week 64 with the theme 'Peace'. For me nothing is more peaceful than snuggling with your pet all up in your face :3 I don't have a pet owl, I do however have two cats. They are black and super goth and not very 'peaceful' looking if I paint them I guess. (haha)
Here are progress pictures of this painting. I layed thin soft layers of colours and worked my way up to darker colours.
I sketched out a rough lineart guide with a prismacolor col-erase pencil in brown.

I never had a pet but when I'm at a place with animals I love cuddling with them. They are just so innocent, sweet and fluffy (depending on what you have though)
I like the colors that you selected. They compliment each other and somehow feel like 'peace' so exactly what you were trying to do. Her expression is so soft and delicate. Your painting makes me feel good.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your curie vote!
My two cats are innocent, sweet and fluffy, and make a whole lot of noise at night when I’m trying to sleep! 😆 But it really is super calming and de-stressing to cuddle with them to bed, sometimes I play the ukulele and they will snuggle up on my lap.
It’s a beautiful moment where I can’t believe these little fragile creatures depend on and trust me so much. I imagine that’s what having children must be like ☺️
Thank you for the kind compliments! :)

It is a beautiful drawing and certainly full of peace, the closed eyes show me that the time you have with your pet is very valuable and full of love, is enjoying every minute with your pet.
I believe that animals can fill us with peace. To be able to enjoy with them for a moment I am sure that it serves to fill the soul with happiness.
Luck!

Like the watercolor palette, soft pastel tones make the girl fragile and gentle.Really nice painting.

Join nTopaz Discord ChannelWhat at all would we have done without art. Art is life and reminds one of the past he/she never experienced. Such a great piece of artwork you did and your process of the artwork which you showed made your blog an awesome one. I really enjoyed myself around your blog. Great work and keep the artist spirit up always

So beautiful, Mel!!! I can totally agree 110% that peace is a beautiful space where you can just snuggle with your pets <3 Since, they say that pets can only be affectionate when they feel at ease, so I think you totally hit the mark so well with this piece <3 <3 <3
I love how delicate and yet how glowing the colours is * ___ * That combination of rose and pale gold hues are just super wonderful <3 I really love it~
Good luck with the contest * ___ * !!!!
Thank youu spider!! ☺️ Do you have any pets? My two children (my cats hahahaha) are suuuper clingy and when I go to sleep at night they always want to jump into bed with me for cuddles. They love being close when I play the ukulele too, little babies 😆

Yesh, I has doggos :D :D :D Cats and doggos and fluffy animals are awesome * ___ * ( i also call 'em my children hahahahaha) Your kitties sound so cuuuuuuuuute, mel <3 I love affectionate animals <3
What a beautiful work! so warm and full of great and small details subtly elaborated. The face of the beautiful girl and the feathers of the beautiful owl are spectacular. I understand the peace you wanted to represent, I think I would not have chosen my little puppy to represent "peace" x.x
Thank you! Hahahaha! Puppy must be a little rascal 😂😂 My two kitties are often super loud and clingy, still I suppose I find peace when they are cuddling up to me. It’s a beautiful moment where I realise the little creatures are entirely dependent and trusting of me ☺️

Beautiful

hi @melissamyra, your painting is very beautiful! I love to see the different steps of the process as you draw to the final drawing. do you do it for work or is it your passion? you have a great talent.
congratulations
Thank you! Art has been a passion of mine since the day I could hold a pencil and draw 😆 I do graphic design as work, but haven’t been finding it as fulfilling, so I suppose I am trying to merge it into work as well this year :) Hardly any gallery exhibition opportunities or art shows where I am from, but hopefully doors will open soon 😊

yes, in this field it is difficult to have opportunities! I find the graphic work very interesting! Keep it up!
Hi there @melissamyra!
Amazing artwork! You are exceptionally talented. The color is just mild and relaxing.
True inner peace can be found snuggling with our love ones including our pets too. Just beautiful!

Your artwork is very heart-warming my friend, @melissamyra. Your use of light colors seems to make the drawing much vibrant and attractive. You were able to portray the beauty of both the girl and the owl. It's kinda unusual for me that someone has a pet owl, considering they are of the wild, and not normally kept as pets. Anyway, your depiction is really good. I will give my two thumbs up for it. You are such a talented artist.
Thanks for the wonderful share. Cheers!
These two are cute together ! Nice painting, especially for the colors which are vibrant and great :).
I had a cat, but he died one month ago... I loved to pet him like that. That make me a bit jealous ^^'.
Una pintura maravillosa, me encantan los toques rosa en las mejillas, ojos y manos. El gesto en su rostro me inspira mucha serenidad, calma. Muchas felicidades por tan bello trabajo.
love it congrats!
I love owls! That barn owl is adorable
