WDE21Feb04 Owl

I was so taken by his expression, but am not sure I captured it. I do tend to be too literal, but had to ignore the shackles on his legs.

Connie, I love your use of colors and I do believe that you have captured this bird and made it fly! _Joel

Re: WDE21Feb04 Owl

VERY nice!
Watercolours baffle me, and you've done an incredible job, I love the combination of colours you've used against each other. the shapes are extremely interesting.
I think you captured his expression for sure!
You did a great job on that head!
This was one of the ones I was thinking about doing, the face and all that white was really appealing.
Great job!!!

Re: WDE21Feb04 Owl

plenty of expression here! I also like the bold colours in the bird repeated muted in the background.
Not many watercolours tonight....I wonder why

Re: WDE21Feb04 Owl

Hi Connie,

I like this owl painting a lot.

I especially like your colour harmonies.

Good work on the legs & feet too - I did this one but cheated & missed them off!
