Laurel Bahe
My paintings turn out bright, happy, whimsical, wacky and wild, which really represents the way the owls make me feel, and in turn how I hope you feel when you experience my paintings. I paint in what I call a graffiti style. I brush, splash, stencil, stamp, and spray textures all over a canvas and then ponder the mess to find the critter who is hiding in there waiting for me to bring him out.
I use things like shoe soles (crocs are my fav) as much as I use a paintbrush to get the paint on my canvas. I paint large 4'x5' owls in my studio and small 5"x7" owls in the car while my husband is driving us cross-country to visit the grandkids. I hope you get a kick out my paintings because I get a kick out of painting them.
