Wildlife Art; Great Horned Owl Watercolor Painting...in miniature
This piece is a portrait of a Great Horned Owl that fades off into the warm brown background. I haven’t painted a vinyette recently… I usually try to complete the subject to the edges of the frame. (…something that one of my teachers taught that really stuck. 
)
For this owl painting I wanted something softer. This is Sam from the Minnesota Raptor Center – one of their education birds that cannot be released. She lives at the Raptor Center. I love watching her. She always seems to have a regal look about her (regal…with attitude…).
The painting is about 6″ x 6″ and is watercolor painted on board.

Your artwork is very beautiful, Rebecca!
I’m incredibly jealous. In a good way, of course :]
I’ve only just discovered your art, though, while searching for drypoint artists as part of my printmaking homework for college.
I really love that wolf I saw in google images!
I’ll make a note to keep checking back for more.
