Answering to Yourself

10" x 10" | Oil on Canvas

There is no looking away here.

The owl meets you directly, but it doesn’t feel like something separate. It feels familiar. Like a reflection you weren’t expecting to face so clearly.

This is not about being watched. It is about seeing yourself.

There is a quiet honesty in that gaze. The kind that doesn’t accuse or demand, but simply holds steady, waiting.

Have you done what you set out to do?
Have you stayed true to what matters?
Are you moving in the direction you meant to go?

This painting lives in that intimate space of self-awareness. The moment when everything else falls quiet, and you are left with your own knowing.

A reminder that the most important answers are not given to the world, but to yourself.
