I was inspired to paint this flying barn owl after watching a short video by BBC Earth of a slow-mo barn owl in flight. Narrated by Robert MacFarlane, you can watch it here (the first half features the owl).
He puts it beautifully when he says:
“In daylight they resemble apparitions, the closest things to ghosts in the bird world. Flying with a supernatural vigilance. To me they set the land over which they move alight with wildness, they pass through the air with the silence of falling snow.”
This painting is my response to the video and this beautiful, magical owl.
This original, one of a kind artwork is painted with oil on canvas stretched and ready to hang. Signed on both the back and the front.
