Barn Owl Tapestries

This is my second owl watercolour piece after enjoying working on the first so much. For whatever reason they translate really well to paintings. This time I worked on a barn owl, there's a lot less detail in these types as opposed to the spotted eagle owl, so I tried out a new background technique to help the animal stand out more. I think this piece has a fantasy based quality to it, mixing the subject matter and the background, it wasn't my initial aim, but I do like the end result.

Did you know a barn owl's ears are lop-sided, with one higher than the other, to help them pinpoint the exact location of even the slightest sound? Show your love for these nocturnal birds without the worry of it keeping you awake at night.

Every Tyto you can think of! From the left: albino, leucistic, common, grass, melanistic, masked, and sooty.

Barn owls are both an omen of death and a symbol of wisdom

Barn Owl

Ghostly pale and normally strictly nocturnal, Barn Owls are silent predators of the night world. You can find them by listening for their eerie, raspy calls, quite unlike the hoots of other owls. Despite a worldwide distribution, Barn Owls are declining in parts of their range due to habitat loss.
