Eagle Owls (1 Viewer)

Zoos and Falconries provided me always with very good opportunities for sketching
birds and animals from very close quarters.
So I had the chance not just to portray a species, but the individual Bird.
I hope that is obvious in the following sketches...

Brilliant pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us .We had a great horned owl.
[similar to the eagle owl] in the trees behind our house a few months ago .
Beautiful bird to watch.

These are all fantastic,especialy like the facial expression in the middle pic.

I would hope that at least one of them gets framed and hung on a very lucky persons living room wall!

Absolutely stunning life-work. I wouldn't know enough about eagle owls to say they were all the same bird - but I can see they're all by the same artist - a tremendously gifted one! Bravo!

These are superb. I love your style and technique,

Thank you all for your kind comments!
For our American friends I have attached the only picture I've ever sketched
of an incubating Great horned Owl in a falconry.
I have to say that all the Eagle owls presented here are different Individuals,
sketched in Various Falconries and Zoos during the period from 1998-2005.
