Hey all. What a week day morning! I don’t know about you, but I could use a little Reader Art of the Week to get me firing on all cylinders. Luckily, that’s just what we have in store!
This week’s art comes to us in the form of a painting from OWL reader Kylie. Check it out:
Here’s what Kylie has to say about her awesome oil painting:
To me this is a picture of flowers, but to make it more interesting I also added dark figures in the back to represent shadows. I created it by lapping over my colors seven times to make it look more like shades.
It’s always interesting to hear about an artist’s process and his or her own interpretation of the artwork. I think the shadowy figures Kylie created in the background add a level of mystery to the image. What, if anything, is lurking back there? Only the artist knows for sure, but it can be fun for us to guess.
Many thanks to Kylie for sending in her art.
Blog at you later!

Great painting, Kylie! I like how the flower details are sort of fuzzed together to create a cool effect 🙂
OMG wow Kylie–beautiful–
Hey Craig my brother never received the December issue-perhaps you can send it with the next issue?
Thanks,
Sara
Hi Sara. Hmm. That’s strange. There may be a problem with your brother’s subscription. Just ask whoever purchased it to check out the customer service website here:

You bet, hannah. I’m thinking I’ll try to post it for Wednesday.

Very nice!
I could never do somthing like that.
Nice! Very Cool!
Cool! I loved hearing how it was made!
Oh very nice! I showed my class this and they wanted to do it. It made me (a teacher) very happy! Thanks for this post!
Also, do you know how to give in artwork and other posts that I may want to be on the website. I have a great piece of art that one of my students made and she wants to put to put the picture up! Thanks!
Hi Ms. B. Glad you liked this one! Please forward any of your students’ art to owlblog@owlkids.com. I’ll get it and put it on the schedule!
Thanks so much!
Can you put in the fictional stories back in like the 35th birthday issues. I really loved them!
We’ll see what we can do! There’ll definitely be some fiction going up in summer 2012!
Oh good!!! I’m so excited!
