Moonlit Rivière Series Original watercolor painting.
12” x 16” watercolor on Arches cold press paper.
An owl perches on a gnarled branch in moonlight, the forest hushed and expectant. Its feathers—warm browns and ash grays—show soft watercolor granulation; a pale halo around a round, luminous eye anchors the painting. Mist softens distant trunks, balancing close detail with cool night air and quiet vastness. The owl’s turned head suggests alertness—waiting for a rustle or simply attuned to nocturnal rhythms. A muted palette of ochre, sienna, blues, and violet-grays, with watercolor’s translucence, makes the moment fragile and poised between action and repose.
