Description

Title: Owlgirl
Medium: Watercolours

Inspired by an old film "They Watch" or "Children of the Mist" that was released in 1993 after a short story by Rudyard Kipling. It's about a busy father who misses his young daughter's ballet performance. The girl is killed in a car accident and her distraught father finds a drawing of hers that shows a white house. He sees a photo of the house and manages to track it down. He meets the mysterious blind woman living there and asks her about the children he has spotted in the house. It turns out that they aren't living children, but souls of the dead. One of them is the frightening Owlgirl who resents the living because nobody seems to be mourning for her, and therefore tries to trick children into following her. She  succeeds in luring the man's second daughter into a lake, but her father manages to save her in the last minute. He also gets to say goodbye to his deceased child before she disappears for good.
