Those beautiful creatures called owls

Steemit and being here made me go trough archive of my work over the years. Thank you Steemit for reminding me :).
And yesterday during that going over I came across watercolors of owls.

It's funny since I hadn't tried out my self much in birds and animals..Even during my art education I was only like mad man drawing people and when we had to do classic study of still nature, it was like...kill me pleaseee!!!

But one year, to be precise for my first solo exhibition ( one whom I posted today painting from), I asked one dear lady, art critic, to write me a rewie of exhibition in catalog for show. And she made beautiful and bit intimate text.

We didn't talked about money, how much she will charge for her work...and Finally when it came to that, she didn't want any...So I found my self in situation ..what To do???

And then came to my mind, she likes watercolors and she adores owls...and I started doing them...

This is the first I made, and became hypnotised with their eyes

And at the same time finding out how incredible creatures they are..Most of them find one mate for whole life, and they can turn their heads to angle of 270 degrees!

I think the real reason I was so fascinated with them is that they have facial expressions, almost like humans..And their babies are puffy cute, can't resist them..

watercolors made on fabriano studio paper, 300gr

And yes, lady was so happy when I gave her present...
