“Above River Road”

captures the spirit of deepest night along lonely country roads in Maine. The horned owl is painted in a semi-realistic style, allowing her to embody the swirling winds of a sky imbued with the magic of the stars. Does the owl live in the night, or does the night live in the owl? The oak leaves dance in the currents of air, while below, all is static along the twin ribbons of road and river. The houses are small isolated worlds distinct from, and irrelevant to, the owl and her universe.
