Northern Pygmy Owl

I moved to Central Oregon in 2006 and have been birding extensively since I arrived but it took me till the spring of last year to finally locate this wonderful bird.  It became my nemesis.  It was with the help of a wonderful local birder, Dean Hale, that I was finally able to tick this bird.  Dean was tragically killed in a head on collision this past weekend.  I chose to finished this painting, that I started last year, as a tribute to a much loved human being.

Original mixed media painting, 8" x 8"   $150
