This is my first owl painting and it was so much fun. Saw whet owls are native to North America and are one of the smallest species. This one migrated to a park in Iowa in January and was spotted as the evening sun was setting. These tend to not be very skittish and will stare at people. They make a sound like a wet saw.

Original acrylic painting by Rollie Brandt. 14" x 11"
