Wwhooooooo

else is amazed by owls and birds ?

Spring is such a great time

 to photograph, observe, listen, and enjoy them all

lately I have been finishing up an order of owls 

for a gift shop

Here is my progress so far

 Nothing completely finished just yet...

but soon

 a swirl in the paints and matte gel medium

 I just use my finger to lay on some colors and texture

every owl turns out a little differently

I use reclaimed  birch or poplar wood 

for the owls and the back board

with some real preserved bark for added effect

which is a bit

 folk artsy I suppose

let me know what you think

What do you think of the Bird-Lady or is it a man?

should I add something more?

in your artistic opinion?

I painted this in one hour and I am just wondering about 

Is it done enough
