Screech Owl in Winter

by Erica Lyn Schmidt

This Eastern Screech Owl is painted life size in mixed media. He’s rendered in cool tones to portray the chill of winter, but his green eyes are clear and bright. The materials used for this painting were watercolor, acrylic and oil on mounted watercolor paper. The 1 5/8″ uncradled panel is unframed but wired for hanging as is.

This piece was created for a BirdWhisperer Project monthly challenge.
