Athena’s Owl

Size: 30,3 x 22,6 cm

Materials: Watercolour on watercolour paper

The one I chose for my fiftieth symbol is the Owl of Athena or Athena’s Owl. A small owl that symbolizes and/or accompanies the Greek Goddess Athena. It’s been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, perception, understanding, and learning across many cultures. The background was created by letting the colours run from the edge by angling the paper.
