| Northern Screech Owl, 10"x10", Oil on Panel |
The Copley Society of Art has called for small works with the theme of Tapestry. It came to mind that the Screech Owl is so camouflaged in its environment as to appear almost a tapestry against it. I photographed this owl at the Audubon Sanctuary in Canton, MA. It was a rescued owl that could not be released. This is a different way of working for me: loose, wet into wet, thick with undefined edges. I'm not crazy about the flatness of the black.
