ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2023 Submission - Fine Art Category

This painting Naturally, Framed! is 1 of 5 of my paintings Juried in by Camelback Gallery, AZ and Won their Featured International Artist of the Year 2021 with a 1r. Residency hosted by this gallery with Artists Magazine Features and Promotion online. I knew as soon as I saw this picture, I had to paint it! It's title came instinctively, from the naturally framing around the Barred Owl of the branches. The lovely colours, of warm creams, beige, greens and the texture of the wood next to the soft feathers, with the depth of the composition really show case where these creatures live. The light in the background was the icing on the cake for me, as for the reflective light in the foreground. What a beautiful home for an incredible species.
