Description
Whos There
*****
A warm, naturally earth-toned and softly feathered owl perches with an intense, alert expression, as if wondering, �Who�s there?� The natural cream color of the paper shows through to give a peaceful appearance that compliments woodsy subjects. A very subtle, coppery sparkle brings light to the background and lightly emphasizes the beauty of the owl�s plumage, and can be seen in more direct light on the original painting.
Owls are among my favorite subjects, and truthfully I can't exactly say why. But they fascinate me with their mysterious appearance, nocturnal activity and long history as a symbol in word mythology and culture, especially as a messenger from beyond the veil.
Owls are a group of birds that belong to the order Strigiformes, constituting 200 extant bird of prey species. Most are solitary and nocturnal, with some exceptions (e.g., the Northern Hawk Owl). Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland and some remote islands. Though owls are typically solitary, the literary collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament. Owls are characterized by their small beaks and wide faces, and are divided into two families: the typical owls, Strigidae; and the barn-owls, Tytonidae.
