Barn owl hunting in the last light of a setting August sun. She is searching for mice in a slow and hovering flight just above a fading flower meadow. Normally Dutch Barn owls only start hunting after sunset, but with a lot of hungry mouths to feed or after days with bad weather they will fly out before. Barn owl (Tyto alba) - 140 x 80 cm - acrylics on panel - sold - prints available.

Exceptional piece! The owl's coloring blends so harmoniously with the plants in the foreground. Thanks for explaining why it is flying in daylight, that helps the viewer to appreciate it.
