My mother-in-law is the most supportive person I know. She’s always there for me, no matter what. One day, we were sitting in my living room and to pass the time I began sketching a great horned owl. I was the first time I ever drew an owl. Working with negative space was a different challenge for me, and I was really happy with how this sketch was turning out.

My mother-in-law was watching me as the owl slowly revealed itself on the blank page. She began to understand what was on the page and fell in love with it. She couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was. She told me that I was a very talented artist, and that I should definitely pursue my art. Which got me thinking… why not?

I was so touched by her words. It meant so much to me to have her support. She asked if she have the sketch printed on a mug or a canvas bag, and I said “of course”! She then made sure to remind me every week until I finally created a canvas bag for her and her friends.

I received so many compliments on the sketch, all thanks to my mother-in-law. She is my biggest fan, and I’m so grateful for her love and support. I soon decided that it was time to make this Great Horned Owl a print and sell it to the world!
