This image illustrates a story I was reading that comes from Welsh mythology. It's about a woman who betrayed her husband and conspired with her lover to have him murdered, so she's punished by being transformed into an owl.

I spent a long time on this one so I was determined to finish it, but I really didn't like it very much once I was finished :(

Do you know why an owl? What is the concept of the owl within Welsh lore?

I think in the story it was her punishment that she would never dare show her face to the light of day again, and that all other birds would hate her- so that was why owls come out at night and other birds don't like them.
