The spotted owlet (Athene brama) is a small owl which breeds in tropical Asia from North Pakistan to Southeast Asia. The upperparts are grey-brown, heavily spotted with white. The underparts are white, streaked with brown. The facial disc is pale and the iris is yellow. There is a white neckband and supercilium. Sexes are similar. (from Wikipedia) Our reference photo has the owl perched in a tree, where two branches diverge. Body is in side profile, breast facing our left, and their head is turned to face us. In the background are more large tree limbs

Great tits and other songbirds are welcome visitors in my garden and always inspire me to paint.

Great tit is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A cute great tit sits on a branch and looks towards the viewer. While I painted the bird in more detail, I kept the background more abstract for contrast, but used the same colours of vibrant yellow, green and teal.

I remembered why I haven't painted that many shorebirds 😅

Though it's never as painful as I think it will be! It just takes a lot of activation energy to start.

Common Loon for January's #BirdWhisperer

Working my way back through more of the older photos!

I think my favorite part of the original picture is the reflection in the water and the loon's coloration, so I focused on those with my interpretation

Stay stylish, my friends!
Stylized drawing of a marabou stork, a tall bird with long gray legs; long, fat, gray pointed beak; fluffy white feathers on head, neck, chest and belly; long black feathers highlighted in white on the wing. This one looks like it is smiling as it looks slyly out at the viewer as though to say, aren't I an elegant bird?
