EUROPEAN EAGLE OWL



Not sure if I posted a pic of this painting, I completed it awhile ago and for once I was happy with the finished painting. It took many layers of watercolor to get to this point but I felt that all the work was worth it in the end. It was fantastic to work on a painting with the real bird right there in front of me. These large owls are one of my favorites and I do plan on completing more studies of them someday. In the meantime I have been very busy with other work which I'll get to in my next post.
Eagle Owl, watercolor on Arches paper, 7.5" x 11". SOLD.

Typical of you. Another great one. Have you seen one in the wild?

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated! And yes, I have seen this bird in the wild - in Hong Kong actually although all the views I have had were distant.
