Photograph of the Day, Snowy Owl

Birdwatching. Birdwatchers. Birding. This Beautiful Snowy Owl is perched high on top of a utility pole over seeing its territory. The rodent population in the Arctic, Alaska, and Canada is decreasing. This forces Owls like the Snowy Owl, Grey Owls, and others to travel farther South in the lower 48 states to try to find food.

Painting a Day, Owl Watercolor Painting

Welcome to my Artist Blog! I'm a Pennsylvania Artist who has decided to challenge myself to A Painting A Day 100 Day Challenge. Yes that's right, I'm challenging myself to create one painting everyday for the next 100 days. I will be documenting my journey in this blog. My Paintings will vary in size, style, genre, and medium. I hope to improve my skills and share what I have learned. My Travels will be documented, as well as, weather phenomenon, my living environment, my Pets, the Wildlife that I encounter, and whatever else inspires me. Eventually the originals will all be posted for sale...check back for updates. I will also be posting reproduction products of the images on my various web sites.

Day Four:

Birds. Birds are a favorite subject matter of mine. This Abstract Watercolor Painting depicts a Cute Little Owl surveying his territory. I attempted to capture the Joy and Beauty that Owls bring to the world by using soft pastel colors.
