That center owl is so happy! I love this. It reminds me a bit of artwork from Mall ( http://nnayam.blogspot.com/ ).
This is a great way to represent the "Wise" theme from Illustration Friday.

Again you are a master of color! Also, that's one of a few favorite quotes from the movie that's stuck with me over the years - a good one to remember.

Hope you don't mind if I add you to my blogroll.
