Description
This image of the Great Horned Owl is a pen and ink drawing with watercolor, that I then photographed and finished some touch up painting digitally in Photoshop. I wanted the background to look like sunset was approaching as the owls are nocturnal. Before the passion of photography has taken over I painted and drew mostly, now I do both, with photography at the forefront, but at times have to pick up a brush, pencil or pen.
The great horned owl is the most common owl of the Americas, easily recognizable because of the feather tufts on its head. These "plumicorns" resemble horns or, to some, catlike ears. Great horned owls are adaptable birds and live from the Arctic to South America. They are at home in suburbia as well as in woods and farmlands. Northern populations migrate in winter, but most live permanently in more temperate climes.
