What the Owl Saw - A Timeless Moment of Love and Enchantment
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this work of art, titled "What the Owl Saw," painted by the talented Ethel Parkinson in 1912, we are invited to witness a scene of pure romance and wonder. The image transports us to a fantastical world where nature and love intertwine in a magical dance. At the heart of the painting, a young couple shares a tender moment, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. They sit nestled amongst the lush foliage of a tree, their bodies intertwined, oblivious to the world around them. The tree, in turn, seems to cradle them in its branches, as if acknowledging the beauty and significance of their connection. But what makes this scene truly enchanting is the presence of the wise old owl, perched on a nearby branch. His large, knowing eyes are fixed on the couple below, bearing witness to their love. The owl, a symbol of wisdom and insight, seems to understand the depth of emotion that lies between the two young lovers. He gazes at them with a gentle smile, as if acknowledging the beauty and power of love. The painting is bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dazzling patterns on the ground below. The colors are rich and vibrant, with the greens of the leaves and the browns of the tree trunks contrasting beautifully against the warm, earthy tones of the couple's clothing. "What the Owl Saw" is a testament to the enduring power of love and the magic of nature. It invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and to cherish the moments of connection and intimacy that make life so rich and meaningful. This fantastical image, painted by the skilled hand of Ethel Parkinson, is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire us over a century after it was created.
