A figure in warm earth tones stands in profile against a beige ground, cradling a white barn owl with outstretched wings while red berries and green foliage frame the composition. The painting balances stillness and motion through soft brushwork and a contemplative pose, creating a moment of quiet communion between human and animal. 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.
