Inked!

 

Inked and ready for the Stockshow: Creative Arts Division competition...  I really don't think he will receive any kind of ribbon.  I've been doing this long enough that i feel i know a little bit about the judges....lol   They don't like crazy stuff... they like fairly realistic stuff... and i don't think this ticks the right boxes... BUT... i LOVE him and want my little part of the World to see him. I'm especially proud of myself for those claws.   

Funny claw story... every photo i was finding online showed owls with three toes on each foot so thats how i sketched it... then something told me to do a little more research... nope they have FOUR toes but they often tuck the one behind the branch for support.., so i squeezed in another toe !   So now you know ... the rest of the story... 

I have a few more projects to finish up before the 29th when i turn everything in....Mainly a windchime to string up and get this owl in a frame with a matte because he is an odd size... and unfortunately he's a little off center of the page...  Take care... and thanks for stopping by! Hugs! deb
