Description
Great Horned Owl Study – 9 3/4″ x 7 3/4″ – 950 Edition Signed and Numbered Paper Print
“The great horned owl is one of the most widespread owls in North America. Each climatic region has a different race with different plumage ranging from
very pale to dark russets and blacks. The race I have shown here is typical of the areas where I have lived. Since I have always liked the look of fierce creatures, this fellow’s expression is one of my favorites. The great, curving frown is emphasized by the upswept “horns”. He always looks this way, no matter what his mood. But the expression does indeed fit with a fierce and capable attacker of other creatures he preys upon.” – Robert Bateman
