NIGHT FLIGHT OF DREAD AND
DELIGHT
Shekinah Fonville
ANALYSIS
“Night Flight of Dread and Delight” depicts exactly what the title is. Night
flight meaning owls are nocturnal animals and they fly at night. The owls seem
miserable but the night is beautiful! The stars in the sky with the one owl eye
mix very well and makes a beautiful picture.
It is made on an oil on canvas with collage.
