I feel very flattered from your comments though great part of the praise belong to my modell. Considering to go back soon hoping to get a proper watercolour study..
Will see...

Not much more to say! Bird and scene seem perfectly married.

Marvellous stuff, as usual! It is an obliging model, but that doesn't take anything away from your field sketching skills - you must be among the greatest
I just recieved news that a Ural Owl AND a Great Grey are present by a small lake an hour south of Oslo. That has never before been recorded this far south in Norway, and my pencils have started itching... I've been a birdwatcher in Norway for 35 years, and still haven't seen any of the two in the wild.

Missed this latest work, all of a very high standard indeed. The roosting Tawny Owl is a bit special, an incredible piece of draftmanship Pascallis...

Marvellous Tawny there. Love the detail in it and the way it still looks camouflaged, even in pencil.

Thank you all for your encouraging response!
As already previously mentioned, I had in mind to go back to the Tawny hoping
to get a watercolour study..And I did it today!
The weather forecast was excellent, and I shouldn`t miss the chance..

you're a cruel man to show such excellent work where mere mortals can see it, envy is a sin and I was already a sinful person to begin with! This is just wonderful. Everything is just wonderful about it!

Brilliant, Paschalis. I love how one eye is slightly more open than the other, Many of the Tengmalm's and Pygmy's I've ringed often open one eye at the time.

Something I hadn't even noticed but now that Oivind points it out it makes this even more impressive.

That owl strikes the perfect balance of being camouflaged and defined. That is hard to pull off. Great work.
