Owl #47
Owl and Red Squirrel
watercolor and ink
High up in a pine a Great Horned owl snoozes and a little Red Squirrel carefully climbs past on his way down the tree.
Owl #44
Owl and Aspens
Prints in the shop
A Great Horned Owl in a forest of aspens. Kept all the line work thin in this one. It felt right for the slender trees and papery bark.
Owl #43
Burrowing Owl and Desert Sunset
Prints available here
One of the new illustration I did for my 2015 calendar. A burrowing owl peeking over rocks in a Southwest landscape with an orange setting sun.
This year’s owl calendar is now up in the shop! All new illustrations from past years, plus some brand new illustrations that I will be featuring here on the blog over the next couple weeks.
I always have fun selecting and drawing the different months. Have any favorites? I’m a little partial to July this year.

Owl #40
Owl and nuthatch
A rainy fall woodland scene. An owl and a nuthatch on a fungi covered tree.
This one was a little difficult, it went through many revisions until I was finally happy with it. Sometimes its tough finding that balance between simplicity and the right amount of detail.
