Jaded Beauty

This piece was a bit of a stretch for me in the subject matter. I've really been into the work of Michael Hussar lately and this piece definitely reflects that. It's called Jaded beauty because it repressents my home town of Santa Cruz which is in and of itself a beautiful place and it is my home but at the same time I feel like the beauty has been jaded by the lack of drive and motivation by the people that live there. The figure is the death of the place in my heart I once held for it. The owl is me.
