Revisiting an owl theme

Astronomer - an Owl Painting with a Starry Sky Background

Today I revisited an owl that I have painted before , I wanted to use the same idea but really push the sky and the lighting effects more, to make this painting more like it was in my mind. I have a couple of alterations to make, and then we'll see if I managed to do what I set out to do this morning ☺️ Many artists won't paint the same scene twice, but I actually often do and I enjoy seeing which bits I can change or improve.

Peek at work in progress on my new bird art series featuring expert aviators

New Bird Art

I have been looking forward to this series for a while. Aviation is a topic that I am transfixed by, and it is a thrill to get started.
