This piece beautifully captures the quiet majesty and piercing presence of a barred owl (Strix varia). Rendered in rich, meticulously layered acrylics,

the painting highlights the owl's distinctive soft facial discs, intricate striped plumage, and intense, direct gaze. Framed by a vibrant, dappled summer canopy, the subject creates an intimate connection with the viewer, inviting them into a fleeting moment of wilderness stillness. Ready to hang in wood floater frame.
