Natalie’s Inspiration: “This is the first time that I have painted this beautiful species of owl, I feel there is something quite mysterious about these nocturnal birds, maybe it has something to do with the smokey darkness around their eyes….. no wonder they are called Sooty Owls. I haven’t had the opportunity to see these birds first-hand in the wild, when that time becomes a reality, I’m sure it will be a special moment. A big thank you to my good friend, Rick Worthy for his generosity to allow me to use his photographs as a reference for this painting. I thoroughly enjoyed painting “Eyes at Night “, the subtle colour tones in the Owls were a unique palette of very dark colours, bordering on monochrome. Another feature in this painting is the branch the birds are perched on, I love the life on this branch. It was just as time-consuming to paint as the birds! I photographed this at Barrington Tops National Park, a favourite place of mine to visit”.
