This is so beautiful! It is so clean that I thought it wasn't a digital painting, the expression on her face is perfect and is so full of emotion, the owl is the perfect partner for this too, a great piece, thanks for sharing!

First of all, wow! A feature would be amazing and I'm so excited that you want to share my creation. And thank you very much! :) I do have a brief backstory about this posting, though I don't think I am best at explaining things in english, please do feel free to include this or not, or summarize it however you see fit. xD
I can honestly admit that this is my favourite of my personal paintings so far because it holds so much meaning to me. I recently made a shift from doing graphic design work to doing art and illustrations full time, and I've never been happier.
This piece is one of the few personal works I've made since and is one I've given the most time and attention to. The chance of being able to be patient with my pieces has given me a lot of peace and confidence I haven't had during doing design and working short deadlines for not only client work that my idea concepts and abilities didn't align with, but also pay that was inequivalent to the effort I was putting in.
I actually have an A1 size poster of this printed plastered on the wall in my room. And every time I need a little encouragement I stand in front of it and stare at it, it gives me a stillness in my mind and reminds me to remember to appreciate time and the things in life that make me happy :)
