WILDLIFE OF THE BRITISH ISLES


EUROPEAN EAGLE OWL Oil on board, 10 x 12 inches



			Fine Art Giclee Prints: Available
		Original painting: SOLD


	The eagle owl with it's striking orange eyes is the largest and most powerful owl in Europe measuring some 27 inches in length. It's prominent ear tufts can be raised or lowered according to it's mood. ( This owl is obviously in a good mood ) it feeds upon a large range of prey from insects to larger mammals such as rabbits and hares and even game birds. This is an intimate portrait of the owl where I wanted to focus attention upon it's beautiful eyes and mottled feather pattern. I chose a limited tonal range for the painting and kept the background simple, but harmonious for added effect. The original, framed in a dark wood frame with cream inlay, looked very striking. The painting sold at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art.

Original Fine Art Wildlife paintings for sale or commission direct from the artist. Limited Edition Giclee Prints also available.
