This is a Little Owl (Athene noctua). I was working on some sketches for a painting of the goddess Athena and her owl and this was one of my potential candidates. He didn’t quite work for that painting, but I loved him so much I decided to paint him on his own. He looks at us with a curious gaze. The art has a realist impressionist feel.
be careful posting rough sketches, that’s a slippery slope…
Your rough sketches are so brilliant…
great sketches..i like it very much
Much appreciated, thank you!
