OWLS
These were publicity prints and a version for Christmas, inspired by a trip to the West of England falconry where they look after a very noisy snowy owl. Available as a limited edition print.
This project followed on from a larger project which involved painting an owl for the Owls of Bath, an interactive public art trail for Bath. The owl was sponsored by local businesses and later auctioned off as a charity fundraiser. The owl I painted, called Mowlberry beak is now on permanent display at the Mulberry Hub in Combe Down, Bath.
I started off with a design for the owl which was based on the history of Bath, this got slightly adapted as the project developed and I then focused on the history of Combe Down as well as Bath. Below are the preliminary sketches finishing up with the actual painted owl and where he lives now.
