The three owls

A trip through memory lane. More then 20 years ago there was a short period in my life – about two years – in which I did some etching. I had my own press; a modest table model.

When I made this I was living in Groningen, a city in the North of the Netherlands. I frequented a bar called The Three Owls. ‘De drie uitjes’. I made this as a gift to the owner of the place.

I have always had a fondness for owls, since I saw Albrecht Druer’s Little Owl as a child. You’ve produced a beautiful study of owls here, so good to see an etching too, great work.
Martin Derksema

Thanks, Anni. They are so wise.
