This is "Olivia" the beautiful Barn Owl.
 
This stunning barn owl painting on wood has been lovingly hand-painted by me in acrylic paint on a piece of chestnut. The wood has some absolutely stunning markings and character which show up through the painting itself and  I have painted Olivia so as to celebrate the both beauty of the natural wood and the features of the barn owl itself. It would make a perfect wildlife gift for a wood lover or animal lover alike.
 
This barn owl painting on wood comes complete with a saw-tooth picture hanger ready to hang on your wall. This original piece of British wildlife art on wood would look beautiful in a kitchen, lounge, bedroom, hallway or conservatory and would make a lovely, unique gift for a British wildife enthusiast. 
 
I paint British wildlife on wood rather than canvas as I love using wood as a natural and sustainable background to my artwork. Much of the wood that I work with is reclaimed and therefore has some beautiful markings and character that deserve to be preserved and celebrated for years to come. This is a one-off piece of British wildlife art and having been coated in a flat matt varnish for protection, it should stand the test of time and can be treasured for a life-time.
