'Long-eared Owl' © Tracy Hall 20103.25" x 2" watercolour on board (enlarged)
Long-eared owls arrive in Orkney in late autumn to overwinter, but they are not easy to find so I was pleased to have the chance to see a pair in a local village recently, where they have been roosting during the day in a sheltered garden. Owing to the lack of leaves on the trees it was possible to get a very good view of them - and they seemed quite unbothered by their visitors! This is the resulting painting.

Wow Tracy, you are sooooo fast. Love it, you did a great job.
Another beauty Tracy.
The detail and accuracy are simply amazing, especially considering the size. Wow! I particularly appreciate the textures of the tree branches.
I can't wait to see the whole thing, the little taster is wonderful.
Many thanks for taking the time to comment everyone, I really appreciate it. This one was great fun to do, especially the tree!
Tremendous work, Tracy.
He's wonderful Tracy! What a treat to see him in person and have him pose for you! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to paint him. As always, your branch-work and feather rendering is just tops!
