Love how you have painted the owl about to pounce Paul.

It's lovely Paul and the feathers look very good as is

Nicely done Paul.

Posted by Spencer Lambeth-Angell on Tue 13 Feb 15:34:50

You’ve got the balance of detail just right Paul, we can fill the rest in, if we want to. I like the ‘in action’ composition.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Tue 13 Feb 15:52:58

Looks good to me Paul.

Interesting pose Paul and set off very well against the grey background

I love owls and yours looks great just as it is. It has a freshness about it and so I would resist doing any more to it. Lovely.

A lovely painting Paul. The owl stands out so well against the darker background.

Posted by Diane Boswell on Tue 13 Feb 20:22:46

I think you did a good job with the loose style, I always really like your animals very much!

Lovely work, Dixie.

Super owl with great movement Dixie. We don’t see many owls round here lately, sadly. They are one of the most beautiful magical birds when seen in flight.

Sylvia, Carol and Tessa thank you for you kind comments. I was lucky Tessa as there were a breading pair in the old barn where I work with the National Trust we had a camera in the nest and watched them from birth to first flight .

Real action painting Paul. Only just spotted this on gallery. He's intent on a mill that's certain! Lovely!

Posted by Ruth Dolan on Fri 23 Feb 11:44:33

That should say kill not mill! Sorry.

A4 watercolour painting of a owl about to catch it dinner. An imaginary scene I wanted to keep the detailing to a minimum as I have the habit of fiddling with my paintings often resulting in the been overworked. I decided to attempt this one having pains quite a few owls in the past but not as loose as this , I like it but itching to put in a bit more feather details .
