A screech owl looking at you with two yellow eyes, the small owl of American gardens with the ear tufts up, painted in cobalt, violet and indigo with the facial disc in pale lilac and the feathers in short strokes. Splashes of yellow, red and blue around it and drips below. It is a portrait format. One buyer told me her friend jumped up and down when she opened it. The great horned owl is its bigger cousin.
Why it is a limited edition
Each print is made in an edition of 150, and I sign and number every copy in pencil under the image. The edition is small so that every copy can be made properly: the file is scanned from the painting itself, printed on museum-quality cotton paper with archival pigment inks, compared with the original in daylight and corrected until the colours match, and only then signed. When the last copy is sold, the edition closes for good.
Paper, inks and sizes
- Archival pigment inks on acid-free, museum-quality watercolor paper, so the texture of the original is kept
- Framed canvas options in a black wooden frame, ready to hang
- 15 sizes, from 8 x 10 in (20 x 26 cm) to 40 x 55 in (100 x 140 cm)
- Small sizes ship flat in rigid cardboard, large sizes rolled in a hard tube, worldwide with tracking
The frame is not included unless the option says Framed Canvas. Not sure which size fits your wall? Write to me with the width of the furniture under it and I will suggest one. Reproduction rights remain with the artist.

This was a gift for a friend who loves screech owls, and she literally jumped up and down and squealed with delight. This is SO much more beautiful in person than the pictures can do justice.
