Owlie Original Painting

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.

Owlie Rough Sketch

This is my rough sketch, I've established the basic lineart.  This is how the piece began...

Original Painting

I've chosen to paint him on a wooden plank. There some variation to the tones of the plank and some of the bark is uneven. It is painted directly on the wooden plank.
