A Little Owl (Athene noctua) Sketch & Fairy Dog on a Sunflower Website Update...



Here is a sketch of a Little Owl (Athene noctua).  This is the favored owl of the Greek goddess Athena, also known as Minerva by the Romans.  I am going to have this little owl nestled on Athena's shoulder for one of my upcoming paintings.  Thanks to Paul Sawford for letting me use his amazing photo as reference...


I am also participating in Sunday Sketches.  To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

Thanks for visiting! I'm unable to comment on google+ sites that don't have the blog links, but I do visit. For some reason, even though I've said no to word verification, it still shows here. If you're logged in to Google or OpenID, you should still be able to post by clicking enter without filling in the word verification. I'm sorry about the glitch...
