Two owls in different styles and mediums ..first is my usual watercolor with a white background while the second one is on a dark colored Pastelmat .I had been experimenting more lately. just trying to find out what works best for me. 

Owl On Night Watch

This one was painted recently, an attempt to paint a subject complete with background..Usually I leave the background blank or with very minimal work. It was a toughie, painting dark around him and still keeping the edges soft but I enjoyed the job!

Barred Owl

Owls are fun to paint,,usually I like painting the ones with long, tufted ears- but this time I decided to try this round headed, barred owl.Next time i might try them in colors other than the ( natural) brown!
