THE BRIGHT SIDE PROJECT:: DAY 22:: ORANGE WILLOW:: WENDY OWENS

{please visit orange willow here}

I wish I could draw like artist 22 Wendy Owens, not only does she take on some of my very favorite subject (fauna), the intricacy of each piece must mean she is extraordinarily patient or able to relax enough to add each carefully placed inked line or dot. Besides the obvious attraction for me being the animals, she has quite the imagination and might I add a bit of cheek. A donkey head placed on a pole dancer body dubbed the Tijuana twist. Now there's flexing some creative chops...The woman is prolific as well, your head will swim when you take a gander at her trove of images.  There's something for everyone, sweet, modern, goth, whatever your style may be, you would be hard-pressed not to find something to your liking in her arsenal.  It was difficult for me to choose which one to showcase, but I am on a bunny high right now and bunnies are cute so I chose this fella with his coy look. You my dear reader if you decide to play along will be able to choose whichever your favorite is in the 8.5" x 11" category (there's 95!)

Wendy Owens has been creating things for as long as she can remember, " I feel like my style is always evolving, as am I as a pers," says Owens.  In 2006 she started selling her work part-time and within 6 months her part time adventure became a full-time one. The majority of her work is inspired by her love of animals, nature, and family. "Having 2 small children and another coming in just 6 short weeks my kids are without a doubt my largest source of inspiration."

Wendy would like you to answer the following question to try to win one of her pretty prints:

What is your deepest source of inspiration for what you create in life?

Please include your favorite print from her shop so when you win we can make sure you get the one you love...As always you have a week to answer.  We will announce the winner on Monday, 03.02.09. Thanks for playing along and thank you Miss Wendy for your contribution!
