It's that time of year- I added some of the snow to this- some of it was already there. Also added some texture. This owl was just sitting there right outside my bedroom window one winter...back when we had more snow.

What a beautiful image, Cindy! The falling snow really creates a wonderful wintery "mood," which is emphasized by the bracing pose of the owl. Tells a great winter story. Beautiful work! :)

A beautiful snow scene - sleepy owl, snow flurries, and snow on the branch. Makes me miss snow (a little, NOT a lot!)
Wonderful work -
Sandy

Thanks Sandy. If you want a bit of snow, we've got some now! ;). About 2 feet.  It's very pretty ...until it's time to clean off the car....

So fitting for the season, Cindy, and I love the way the owl appears hunkered down under the falling snow. Beautifully done!

Like Carol, I loved the way the Owl seems resigned to the cold and the snow and is just hunkered down.
Nicely done.
