Long Eared Owl Original Acrylic

Framed size 20" x 16", with non reflective glass.  An early creation of the Long Eared Owl painting, full of mood, as I move closer to him, I feel shivers down my spine.

The painting is on Cold Press, extra heavy, off white Crescent art board and I aim to produce the finest detail in both the subject and its natural setting.  The shade of the Daler mountboard is carefully selected depending on the painting, as is the toning of the frame itself.  This one was a sale at the Hadleigh Farmers' Show. 

The long-eared owl is a medium-sized owl, smaller in size than a woodpigeon. It often looks long and thin, with head feathers (known as ear tufts, even though they are not ears) which it raises when alarmed. It is buff-brown with darker brown streaks and deep orange eyes.  Read more....RSPB Long Eared Owl
