NIGHT FLIGHT OF DREAD AND DELIGHT

“Night Flight of Dread and Delight” depicts exactly what the title is. Night flight meaning owls are nocturnal animals and they fly at night. The owls seem miserable but the night

is beautiful! The stars in the sky with the one owl eye mix very well and makes a beautiful picture.

It is made on an oil on canvas with collage.
