The Tawny frogmouth "owl" that keeps looking back at me.
Let me tell you why I missed posting in August. It's a bit of a long winded story, bare with me or just comment and move on. I perfectly understand.
Every year I donate a couple of paintings to a fund raiser event for a local charity and they always do well. So this year I heard that one of the executives on the charity has a liking for Owls. So... I launched into getting permission from the photographer to paint the Tawny Frogmouth Owl. Drew it up and started painting. Only to be questioned by DH "Is it really an owl?" A quick google search discovered DH was on the mark.
Abandoned the Tawny frogmouth owl (a mouthful to say and type) and then painted Tyto Alba (see previous post) and got it framed and to the auction in the nick of time.
But, the Tawny frogmouth owl (apparently not an owl but loosely related to the nightjar!) is still sitting on my desk looking at me. We are not on speaking terms currently.
I have moved on to drawing up ideas for a possible Xmas card workshop. Amazing the distractions one can find to avoid painting.
Hope your week is a good one.
