Beautiful painting, love the way the light is coming through the leaves and the bark is amazing. You are sooo gifted. Especially love your talent of capturing the light, it is a real skill.
Kindest regards

You've captured the owl's expression exactly as I remembered it.

I wish I had your talent for creating such great paintings. I used to do the odd watercolour a few years ago (with mixed results), so I think I'll ask Father Christmas for some art materials and start having a go again in the new year

Cheers

Sounds as if you had a harder job getting the photo than i had painting it Stuart.
