First drawing of a barn owl from almost exactly 5 years ago. I was instantly enamoured with their totemic, ghostly beauty. It’s so cool how they are not only adorable, but also ruthless, silent killers that strike their prey with razor talons. Their faces are shaped like a dish in order to direct the sound right into their ears to create a 3 dimensional impression of their environment.
I get asked all the time about the “meaning” and while there are several mythological interpretations, no single one has ever caught my interest fully. I prefer to keep the meaning open ended and enjoy the ambiguity.
I highly recommend you look up this BBC Earth HD video of an Owl hunting. it shows a barn owl in slow motion from the perspective of it’s prey as it swoops down onto the target. So incredible. Sorry for rambling, it’s late at night! #throwbackthursday
