Paint A Simple Pink Owl For Lag B'Omer!

After a really relaxing and beautiful few pages in my sketchbook filled with hebrew letters, I decided to start exploring creating on top of those pages! I had seen an owl painting tutorial by Tamara Laporte, as a part of sketchbook revival 2021 (now expired, sorry) and while I didn’t follow the tutorial, as it was with water color, I did draw an owl that looks just like hers….thanks Tamara! There is such a fine line between copying someone else’s work and creating something that is truly yours, and is this case it is some of both, though for the sake of an exercise in my sketchbook, it is certainly just fine. Would I sell a poster with this owl on it, no, can I enjoy it and share it, yes! And when to enjoy it, exactly, well I’d say an owl is actually a really fun thing to paint or draw for Lag B’Omer, as who is watching from the tree tops as we light bonfires, and certainly when 1/2 million people (on a normal year) visit the gravesite of Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai, in the very woody spot of his gravesite in Meron, Israel? So my friends owls for Lag B’Omer I say, and while you are at it, a whole group of woodland creatures is great too!
