Description
The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) in this portrait lives permanently at the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda, Florida. This digitally painted treatment of an original photograph catches her in an expression that suggests she has something to say about - well, something. Her wide golden eyes and open beak seem to presage an announcement of importance. She can't be returned to the wild because of injury but is instead a spokesowl for this wonderful wildlife rehabilitation group. In this portrait, the textured background colors and pattern suggest the natural wild habitat from which she comes.
