A beautifully painted owl, Paul - it must have been so rewarding to look after that baby owl!

Lovely rendition of a lovely bird. The whole point is to paint the things you like and inspire you...so you keep painting your Tawny owls.

You did remind me an artist, that I used to get notifications every time she was advertising her arts for sale... Horses! It seems she didn't paint anything else ;) Well, it's nothing wrong to keep painting all over again the things close to our hearts! If you gone through my artwork, you'll notice, that multiple of times the subject is my niece! ;) How could I resist, having so many photos of her at the blink of the eye ;) I wish I could read rest of the story of your fostering young owl Paul! How challenging did you find feeding this bird? Did you set your bird free then, or it went to Zoo's enclosure? I'm doubt it could hunt its prey on his own, after being hand fed, though...

Just like me with my painting of my favourite pots and vessels. You like them so they still inspire you. Lovely painting Paul.

This is a really lovely painting, Paul. Beautifully done!

Posted by Spencer Lambeth-Angell on Mon 12 Dec 20:06:14

Many thanks for your comments Eric, Faye , Marjorie and Spencer . You spot on there Marjorie why not keep painting them there are so many combinations of patterns, colours and scenes , still it good to do other things as well.

The title is perfect for the expression on this lovely owls face,

Posted by Anne Edwards on Mon 12 Dec 20:45:59

I love this painting Paul. I used to collect owls (not real ones!) but since donated to charity and just kept one. I think I may have only seen a real owl once in the wild. They are beautiful and all birds are beautiful to me.

A4 watercolour on loose canvas . My favourite creature tawny owls are just a mixture of browns and grey but they look so beautiful. I was fortunate to look after a young one for several months after it was disoriented and lost , it was blown by the wash of a landing jet . I get the urge to paint one every do often I have been told its odd but who cares , have several in my collection of paintings but you can never have enough can you .

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
