This a sketch done on my ipad for my "Animals and Birds of the Bible" that I am working on. It is a a saw-whet owl. They are my favorite of the small owls. I was given a great book by my daughter Marjorie as a reference. The book is "Scripture Animals, A natural history " The author was Jonathan Fisher. The book was published in 1833. The charming illustrations are etchings done by the author. The information though in some cases a bit out dated is fascinating. I am enjoying the study of my new subjects placement and importance as much as the actual painting.
