#203 – Someone is Listening – Original Painting
Choose options
Hidden quietly within the forest, these eastern screech owls carry a strong sense of curiosity and awareness. In this original heavy body acrylic painting, Canadian artist Jeff Dillon focuses on the expressive connection between two young owls observing the world from the safety of their woodland surroundings, using layered texture, soft movement, and detailed feather patterns to bring the scene to life.
A precocious and interested family of 6 baby eastern screech owls inspired this piece. The two owls in the painting conveyed the total expression of the group; one intently watching and another intently listening. As they age, these owls will eventually go their separate ways, but for now they are content with observing us from the comfort of their forest hideaway. The instinctively trained eyes of the owls stand out against the surrounding forest while their layered plumage blends naturally into the woodland atmosphere. The dense greenery surrounding the owls casts a soft forest tone throughout the scene, reinforcing the quiet shelter and closeness of their environment.
