Barn Owl Tapestries

This is my second owl watercolour piece after enjoying working on the first so much. For whatever reason they translate really well to paintings. This time I worked on a barn owl, there's a lot less detail in these types as opposed to the spotted eagle owl, so I tried out a new background technique to help the animal stand out more. I think this piece has a fantasy based quality to it, mixing the subject matter and the background, it wasn't my initial aim, but I do like the end result.

Did you know a barn owl's ears are lop-sided, with one higher than the other, to help them pinpoint the exact location of even the slightest sound? Show your love for these nocturnal birds without the worry of it keeping you awake at night.

Every Tyto you can think of! From the left: albino, leucistic, common, grass, melanistic, masked, and sooty.

Painting of an adorable barn owl! This would make an adorable gift idea for owl fans!

This is a recreation of the classic Magician Tarot card, replacing the magician with a gorgeous red and white owl using magic to make flowers bloom. This is a great gift for women who enjoy fortune telling and kids who like majestic animals like owls.

Sacred barn owls with a halo around their head are watching every step you make, making sure that you’ll be alright. <3

Ghostly pale and normally strictly nocturnal, Barn Owls are silent predators of the night world. You can find them by listening for their eerie, raspy calls, quite unlike the hoots of other owls. Despite a worldwide distribution, Barn Owls are declining in parts of their range due to habitat loss.

This young Barn Owl was waiting for the adults to return to the tree with food. From time to time it would peek out of its hiding spot providing very brief photo opportunities. Taken at Mapleton Springs B&B, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland.
