This owl is beautiful (of course) and I love it's sketchy yet painterly quality. Sketches are my favorite thing to look at too! :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-56676691438060842872012-03-01T19:01:15.590-08:002012-03-01T19:01:15.590-08:00Beautiful owl!

The eyes are captive as usual -- every time I look into the eyes of your painted portraits (including animal portraits) they always totally such me in. I never saw anybody painting eyes as well as you and that's not an exaggeration. I'm soooooo terrified of the thought of painting anything with eyes -- I just totally admire your ability of doing them! I also like the sketchy look of this painting -- using marks and puddles to hint feather patterns. Wonderfully done!<br /><br />How is weather in Utah in March? Are you still planning to hold the workshop of painting animals?
