A burrowing owl stares directly forward with wide, piercing yellow eyes magnified behind a pair of round spectacles, its brown and white plumage rendered in soft, naturalistic detail against a pale sage green ground. The bird's direct gaze and eyewear create an endearingly inquisitive personality, blending wildlife illustration with whimsical anthropomorphism. 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.
