“The Great Sentinel” was inspired by a rare and unforgettable moment when I stumbled upon a great horned owl peering out from an old tree trunk. The owl’s intense golden-yellow eyes captivated me instantly.
This piece reflects that rare chance encounter and the powerful presence of nature’s watchful guardian.
This piece is one in the series “Friends of the Dunes” inspired by the beautiful animals of Indiana Dunes National Park, a place that speaks to the heart of nature’s resilience and grace. I hope it brings a spark of warmth and hope to your day.
