Australian Barn Owl in Flight
This striking piece captures a barn owl mid-flight, wings fully spread, as it appears to glide straight toward the viewer. Painted with incredible detail and softness, the owl’s graceful form emerges from a handcrafted timber panel made of natural, staggered wood sections — each with its own unique grain and tone.
The warmth of the wood complements the earthy hues of the owl’s feathers, creating a seamless connection between the natural world and the painted subject. With its intense gaze and outstretched wings, the owl embodies calm strength, intuition, and freedom.
Set against a raw outdoor backdrop, this artwork is both grounding and dynamic — a celebration of nature, craftsmanship, and the silent power of wildlife.
