Three Wise Owls Oil

Three Wise Owls
Oil on canvas, 100 × 80 cm
Three Wise Owls is a vibrant and joyful contemporary painting that celebrates wisdom, togetherness, and watchful presence. Three stylised owls perch side by side on a branching tree, their wide, expressive eyes engaging the viewer with a sense of curiosity and quiet knowing. The central owl, painted in glowing reds and oranges, forms a strong focal point, while the cooler blue tones of the surrounding owls create balance and harmony within the composition.
Richly layered oil paint and confident, gestural brushstrokes give the work texture and energy, enhancing its playful yet purposeful character. The deep blue background intensifies the saturated colours, allowing the figures to stand boldly forward, while the organic branches and leaves ground the scene in nature.
Blending elements of contemporary folk art, naïve painting, and illustrative storytelling, this large-scale work has an immediate visual presence and an uplifting, accessible spirit. Three Wise Owls is a statement piece that brings warmth, colour, and character to a space, inviting reflection on shared wisdom and connection.
