Beautiful Collection of Owl Art Prints

Many of the limited edition owl art prints in this collection feature owls living in my garden. I favour a detailed style to capture the individual character of these magnificent birds.

Barn Owl Art Prints

Barn owls are my favourite owls. I love the way they glide over grassy fields or perch silently on fence posts with their white feathers glowing against the evening sky.

Barn Owl on Lookout | Limited Edition Print | Buy here

This painting features a barn owl hunting over grassland. To create the effect of soft, waving grass, I glued actual grass stems onto my board and airbrushed over them. When I took away the grass stems, I was left with their ochre and yellow imprint.

This painting focuses on the golden light of a late summer evening and how it complements a barn owl's buff feathers.

I knew the owls perched on this barn door well and during one bitterly cold winter I took extra food to them.

Barn Owl on Cart | Limited Edition Print | Buy Here

 

I love the way barn owls lower their heads and peer down from their perches. The paintings above and below were both inspired by witnessing this pose on an old cart in a field close to my gallery.

The barn owls below are young fledglings. They are huddled together like this to express how vulnerable this species is now that so few traditional barns remain.



I was inspired to paint them like this after they fell from their nest when the barn they lived in was emptied of straw. I built them a nest box and this rescue was the beginning of a 20 year conservation project to support barn owls on the Yorkshire Wolds. Click here to read about my barn owl conservation project



I was inspired to paint this barn owl after watching an owl glance over its shoulder in just this way.

Barn owls are spectacular in winter when their white feathers reflect the snow. This owl is diving down into a snowdrift and illustrates how these birds can detect voles even beneath a covering of snow.

I positioned this owl in the centre of my composition with its gaze directed out of the frame in order to express the quizzical look of a barn owl that spots you while out hunting.

The deep green backdrop in this painting illustrates the lush grass of early summer and the hope I feel at spotting a barn owl right at the beginning of the season.

Tawny Owl Art Prints

 

A pair of tawny owls live in my garden and raise a new brood here every year. Many of the owl prints below are portraits of these garden owls.

This painting features a tawny owl I feed in my garden. One year it almost lost an eye during a fight and I thought I had lost my main painting model forever. Thankfully it recovered and has gone on to pose for many more portraits. Click here to read the story of my tawny owl model

Three Tawny Owls | Limited Edition Print | Buy Here

I was inspired to paint this after watching wild tawny owl chicks in my garden. Their parents are so confident they bring them to my bird table to feed every night. Recently I've persuaded the adult owls to foster young owlets. Click here to read about how this wild owl foster programme works

Little Owl Art Prints

As a child I took care of an orphaned little owl. I was so fond of it I even taught it to ride on the handlebars of my bicycle. This collection of little owl prints features birds I watch often here in Yorkshire.

Little Owls and Beetle | Limited Edition Print | Buy Here

Little owls look as though they are frowning all the time. I've tried to capture this comical gaze in this painting of a pair watching a beetle crawling across a tree root in front of them.

Little Owl in Evening Light | Limited Edition Print | Buy Here

Little owls have piercing yellow eyes that seem disproportionate to their small bodies. The overall effect when they look out, unblinking, is of a cross face. The paintings above and below reflect this.

I once helped a wild pair of little owls find a new home. Click here to read the story. 

My limited edition owl art prints

My paintings are printed to the highest quality on heavyweight watercolour paper using light fast inks. They are available framed or unframed and each print is individually numbered and hand-signed in pencil by myself. A limited-edition print means that there will only ever be a certain number of prints produced and once they are sold, there won’t be any more available.
