Night Owl

Owls are fun to paint and are just one of the many creatures sometimes associated with Halloween.

Bats, black cats, spiders, and a few others are among this group.

Owls are unable to move their eyes within their sockets very much, which means they must turn their entire head to see in a different direction.  Since owls have forward facing eyes, they have very well-developed binocular vision. That means vision that incorporates images from two eyes simultaneously. The slight differences between the two images, seen from slightly different positions, give the owl excellent depth perception.  

Have a great week-end! Thanks for viewing my art.

Stormy weather has caused us to lose power on several occasions recently. It's a good thing we have this cute little owl in the kitchen ready to light up when we are suddenly plunged into darkness. When he's not busy spreading light, this little owl just looks cute on the table.

We have a severe thunderstorm watch and flash flood warnings right now so he may be called into service. I hope your week-end has been less rainy than ours.
