The Wisdom Within Me

Watercolour and story by Melanie

My name is Melanie, and I'd like to take part in this art competititon.

I'd like to experiment with watercolors, but I don't really have a clue how to do anything. I'd like to be able to express myself and welcome any opportunity to learn.

I have a lot to say, and I'd prefer to do this through pictures. Pictures that show the beauty of life, but also the bad sides. Not in the negative, but in all its power, thus inspiring reflection. Art can move people, and I want to do that, too.

The title of my picture is "The Wisdom Within Me"

I am more than skin and feathers.
Stories, memories, and strengths grow within me that I thought I had long forgotten.
Half owl, half me.
Together we carry the wisdom – and the strength that speaks loudest in its quietest form.
