A barn owl with a rounded, cream-colored face and warm brown plumage tilts its head with wide, dark eyes and an inquisitive expression. Rendered in soft watercolor with delicate speckled detailing across its breast, the bird stands on thin legs against a pale background, capturing a moment of gentle curiosity. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
