ABOUT THIS PAINTING
I find owls not only beautiful but mysterious and wonder if it’s because it is such a rare occasion that we are blessed with seeing one. I had one visit my front yard but the lighting didn’t allow for anything other than stare with amazement. I later had the honor of a personal photo shoot at a falconers homestead which gave me more insight on their behavior and a timeless study which we so rarely have with animals in the wild.
The Barred Owl is one of the reasons for the decline of the endangerd Spotted Owl as they are bigger and meaner and drive the Spotted Owl from their turf. The Barred Owl is known for their sound of “Who cooks for you”, amongst up to 8 distinct calls.
