This Great Horned Owl piece is just finishing up. I gave it another autumn color palette that I thought complimented it nicely.

I’ve occasionally seen (and heard) great horned owls in the neighborhood, usually at dusk. However this year they seem to have been absent so far. The Barred Owl family had a large brood, and I assume have crowded out the gho for the time being. The owl in this painting was an ambassador education bird I was delighted to visit with earlier at the local nature center.
