Sandy Hokanson: NIGHT WATCH... BARN OWL -- (Note Card)

NIGHT WATCH...BARN OWL- (Note Card)- by Sandy Hokanson. In this original acrylic painting by Sandy Hokanson, the pale silver light of a clear night frames a Barn Owl as it gazes toward something unseen. This image is also available as a 12" x 12" signed shrink-wrapped print, a  12" x 12" framed print or a 16" x 16" metal print. 

Poem on back: Pale silver light blankets the field- Small things whisper in the shadows- The night watch has noticed

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."
