Wildlife Art, Bird,Illustrative Art, Colored Pencil “BURROWING OWL STRETCH” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

 

The Burrowing Owl is a very small ground dwelling owl. I was really surprised when I saw them. I thought they would be bigger but they only stand about 6-8 inches tall. They live in small burrows int he ground much like prairie dogs. They scurry around the ground and if a predator gets close they rapidly run down into the hole. This little guy was a delight to watch. I went with a friend to a place in Cape Coral which is known for protecting these endangered owls. He came out of the burrow and started to stretch his wings. I had such a great time that day and hope to do more paintings of these delightful little owls! This listing is for an original watercolor. It is on Fabriano 140 lb watercolor paper.

Wildlife Art, Bird, Raven,Printmaking “Celtic Raven” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

 

The Raven is mysterious bird in many folklores and legends. In this Solar Etching I decided to put a Celtic Raven Mandala in the background. the legend of King Arthur Arthur is associated with ravens. In area of Cornwall, which is steeped in Celtic lore, it was believed that Arthur didn't really die, but was magically transformed into this bird. Interesting for me as I had a cat named King Arthur who passed away and currently have a black cat named "Raven'!

Wildlife Art, Bird, Heron, Nature, Printmaking “Green Heron” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

 

The Green Heron is one of my favorite birds to spot on the river while I am kayaking here in Florida. They often can be spotted along the shore or wading in the water fishing. They are much smaller than their relatives the Great Blue Heron but I think they are much prettier. This is a black & white hand-pulled solar etching. I have also done one that is hand colored after the printmaking process. You can message me if you are interested in a color rendition.
