Reservation Dogs

Love the scene in S1E3 of Reservation Dogs. Bear, Elora, and Willie Jack arrive at Uncle Brownie's home, an owl statue is shown hanging outside with its eyes blurred out. "Aw hell naw, not an owl. Yo, that's not a good sign," Willie Jack exclaims as the group quickly covers their eyes and turns away from it.

The owl is known as "a harbinger of evil" in many Indigenous cultures and the eyes are blurred every time one appears on screen.

Such a good show.

I was not sure what kind of palette to use for this. I can be timid with color. I wanted to go for something bold, or unusual (at least for me).
