Balanced on a bare branch, the great horned owl meets the viewer with a fierce, unblinking gaze. This watercolor highlights the bird’s strength and sharp presence, its feathers patterned in mottled browns and grays that blend with the stark branches of late fall. The simplicity of the scene—stripped of leaves and color—lets the owl’s commanding intensity take center stage.
