Sandy Hokanson: VOICE... GREAT HORNED OWL -- (Note Card)

In this original illustration titled "I Hear Your Voice - Great Horned Owl" by local artist Sandy Hokanson, a Great Horned Owl looks out from his perch amid richly colored oak leaves. Daylight is fading, night descending. She's heard the call of her mate and is about to answer. This image is available as a signed 12" x 12", a signed framed 12" x 12" print, or a signed 16" x 16" metal print. 

Poem on the back of note cards reads:

I hear your voice
I feel your soul
As day transitions to night
And winter overcomes the fall
I'm glad you're here with me

Sandy: "For many years I painted in a realistic style using acrylics or watercolors.  Now I prefer the challenge of focusing less on every feather and more on creating a clean design of each bird." "Some of my finished works are created by making detailed drawing using permanent inks which are then scanned into my computer. Others are hand drawn directly into the computer using either a mouse or a special pen and pad.  Next I'll create a unique palette of colors to layer over the drawings.  Each color is a separate layer - which means some pieces can have up to 25 layers or more. The end result is a crisp, graphic illustration."
