Mexican Spotted Owl

Here is the completed Mexican spotted owl. This was such a magnificent bird to see in person. He (she?) is an educational bird at The Wildlife Center. I got some great photos of several owls at their open house this year, but this was my favorite.

This scratchboard drawing is 8"x10" and is currently untitled.

WIP - Spotted Owl

Here is the start of a new scratchboard. This is a Mexican Spotted Owl. I had the chance to see one in person and take photos of him (or her). I have to admit, spotted feathers are quite a challenge, but it is going well so far.
