Wonderful painting of this owl Suzanne. This is nice and bold with well defined shape and details. You have remembered to put in the reflection in his eyes, giving this a very realistic look. I like the full frame appearance and composition. Lovely work Suzanne :)

Comment from Barb Baker
I love this piece! The eyes on this fellow. No wonder he can see a little mouse from miles away. Love how you did the feathers and the beak. It looks like you are looking at the real thing.
Beautiful grays and blues of his feathers and the orangeish amber of the eyes is gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sharing. Barb Baker

This is a really great acrylic portrait of this creature. I love how you have capture the reflection in the eyes. Most people are afraid of painting with acrylics I can tell from this that you are not.

Your mastery of acrylic painting is very obvious here in the way that you have beautifully captured the very essence of this owl...I too often wonder what they are thinking !

The talent of some of the artist on here is truly spell bounding. This is another such talent. Those eyes are captivating. The detail is so perfect I can almost visualize my refection in them. The feathers show each stroke. Truly amazing.

This is a beautiful painting. I love that you chose to do a close up of the owl's facial features. Nice details, lighting and shadows. I love the color (and reflection) of his eyes and how they contrast against the white. Excellent work! :)
