Description
Blue Moon
*****
On a misty, full moon night, an owl perches, peacefully aware. This is a black and white version of my original painting. As much as I love color, in some cases I find I actually prefer the simplicity of black and white, if the values are appealing. This is one of those situations. This owl has been painted onto page 49 of an old book entitled, entertainingly, High In The Rockies, by Maude Linstrom Frandsen, published in 1957, a self described enrichment text, addressing Colorado history in a story telling format, in a very vintage, gee-whiz, kind of style.

I sometimes enjoy the challenges and rewards of painting repurposed paper from outdated, aging, yellowing and falling apart books and sheet music. The paper proves ideal for a warm, natural appearance that compliments natural subjects, although it is tricky to work on, and I am always experimenting with suitable techniques.

Up cycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
The first recorded use of the term up cycling was by Reiner Pilz of Pilz GmbH in an article by Thornton Kay of Salvo in 1994.
