Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
This painting of Barn Owl is from my "Native Birds" series. These amazing creatures are around where I live. Owl has always been a symbol of wisdom and unseen reality. Their powerful gaze and mystical presence remind us of our connection to the spirit world.
This painting is hard to photograph due to its glossy surface and reflection of light. I have used Canada balsam and water-washed walnut oil as a painting medium and its beautiful sheen is very apparent in all-natural lighting conditions, but it does not disturb the eye in life.
