Noble Guardians of the Timberlands

Spalted Maple Board
15 x 12 x1 1/4 inches
 
Noble Guardians of the Timberlands features two owls thoughtfully rendered through a combination of precise wood burning and delicate watercolor painting on a spalted maple board. Measuring 15 by 12 by 1 1/4 inches, the piece captures both the natural texture of the wood and the intricate decoration of the birds. The left owl is characterized by soft, rounded eyes and gentle feather textures, while the right owl offers a contrast with sharp geometric patterns highlighted by vivid teal accents. Together, they sit side by side, their detailed plumage and expressive gazes inviting viewers into a quiet moment of connection. The warm, undisturbed grain of the maple provides a rich backdrop that enhances the handcrafted details, creating a balanced composition where craftsmanship meets thoughtful design. This artwork reflects a careful blend of natural beauty and artistic precision, celebrating the silent presence of these woodland sentinels.
