More on Owl

HI, I've worked on the little owl some today.It needs a dark background and more dabbing on the chest feathers.I'm thinking about putting a fall background with oranges and browns in the darker colors.It's a Screech Owl. We have them in the backyard regularly. Their call is so eery. If you didn't know what it was it would give you goose bumps. Have you heard one??

 Just got an email from John Shire sending me Sarah Groshong's Apple Cranberry dish for Thanksgiving. I had it years ago at an ESAL(Eastern Shore Art League- Christmas Dinner.We used to have the dinners at members homes but we got too big for that. It was fun to see our artist friends decorations and visit together at different friends each year.

I'll go check on supper. Talk to you later. Did you paint today? Diana

    I'll have to look for the sound of the screech owl on the internet. I don't know if I've heard them before. He is looking magnificent and I think the autumn colors in the background would be brilliant.

    That's really impressive. About how many hours a day do you spend working on it?

    By the way, I had never heard a Screech Owl, so I listened to a few on YouTube. I can imagine how eerie they sound in real life.
