When you see an owl near a grain field don't forget to thank him or her, for all your ancestors that his species saved from famine. :-)

Most of my current painting ideas are about showing how much wonder I get from animals and the facts of their lives. Owls are awesome and do awesome things, like catching mice in the dark, flying without noise and using their facial masks to filter interesting sounds. I hope this picture gives an idea of how much awesome I think they are.

Still acrylics on canvas, 6 colors (phtalo blue 15:3, dark cadmium red, Van Dyck brown, titanium white, Mars black, yellow ochre) plus traces of quinacridone magenta.

Harvest Moon by ~Rangifer The suggester writes: "Honestly one of the neatest anthros I've seen." and I agree! This is a gorgeous traditional piece that makes great use of composition and colors to create an intense scene that draws the viewer in! ( Suggested by ~SpottedNymph and Featured by `savagebinn )

Oh my gosh. I can't stop looking. The details are amazing, the depth is incredible, and the owls are almost like real owls, but they also seem to have a different aspect about them. Its just freaking Amazing and Gorgeous. ^^ :+favlove:
