OMG!!!! This is a truly beautiful owl Leaubellon.

You've produced a wonderful picture of him too - which is a first for the Gallery and the Opus, so I'll upload this picture to the article shortly - many thanks for sharing him with us.

I keep coming back to this brilliant piece of artwork. I am so in awe with this beautiful piece of artistry.
 
Wow, look at those eyes! Adobe Illustrator or good old fashioned painting? Either way it's superb.
