Owl Moon

CollectionRick Humphrey Paintings and SketchesCreatorHumphrey, RickDescriptionOne night I sat out in the bean field of Portuguese Bend working on a painting of a large eucalyptus tree. Suddenly the dark silhouette of an owl with his talons outstretched came swooping down right for my head. I quickly grabbed my lantern and held it up and it turned away. It then proceeded to glide out over the field. I put my brushes down and sat for several minutes and watched as it skimmed the contour of the field perfectly as it sought its next kill.NotesOriginal: oil on canvas, 18 x 18 in.
