4x6 Owl in acrylics

I originally painted this owl for the 4x6 art swap but I just had to keep it :grimacing:. He’s probably the most detailed acrylic painting I’ve done and I’m really proud of the level of detail I got into such a small space! I’ve already got him up on my wall :grin:

He’s a little brighter than the uploaded image is making it look. Thank you for looking!

Nicely done!

Fun fact: owls can’t move their eyeballs…they are long like a telescope and can be seen if you look in their ears, which are not the tufts of feathers at the top…but they can move their heads 270 degrees!
