Mosaic Monday / White Owl-sold


White Owl-sold

I love this charming owl by Victor Nunnally. Click through on the image to see more of Victor's work over at Flickr. You will find large cats, dragon flies and more. This piece is an excellent example of his intricate yet loose style. I love the feathers on this piece, each piece of glass fits together like a perfect puzzle. The color work in the background here is loose and fun. I spoke awhile back about achieving a loose fresh quality in mosaics and how tough that can be. Victor combines a wide variety of shapes in his work and seems to have an intuitive approach to color. I think it is a combination of both the cuts and the color that makes his work seem so fresh.
