I know it's just an owl ... BUT...
So true and honest a depiction of the beauty and majesty of something to appreciate and respect... a depiction noble and captivating, it reaches deep within the viewer. And those piercing eyes and that face... a steadfast wisdom showing great solemnity and resolve... somehow calling us to aspire to the same.
IMHO, THIS is an example of sublime Art whose purpose and effect is to uplift and nourish the soul.
Bravo!
Beautiful.
Thank you! :-)
Beautiful bird. Nice detail and expression in that face!
