barn owl art
After being up late/early observing both a pair of barn owls considering their backyard nest option and keeping my eye on a SpaceX launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, I chose to combine the two inspirations into one mixed media painting.
Robin Street-Morris. Taking Flight (Barn Owls with Rocket Plume). Transparent watercolor and soft pastel on 300lb cold press paper. 13" x 19" (33 x 48cm).
This is the latest in my Owl Moon series. As always, it was inspired by an actual owl encounter. This barn owl was perched in a palm and peeking around the corner at me, no doubt hoping I’d leave and stop scaring any nearby mice and rats away. Their eyesight is keen, but they hunt primarily by listening.
Robin Street-Morris. Owl Moon VI (Barn Owl with Crescent Moon). Transparent watercolor on 300lb cold press paper. 9.5” x 9.5” (24 x 24cm).
