My father is a biologist and he goes birding quite often. A large aspect of birding is "owling". I have always loved hearing the many sounds these birds make but we all know the famous trade mark of the owl; it's eyes. I decided to do a watercolor of this bird because watercolor allows for as much or little detail as you want; I wanted the details to be in the face to emphasize the eyes. I used this site for a picture reference.	Watercolor on hot press paper.	This landscape can be viewed out of the Sohre Residential Hall facing the valley of St. Peter, MN. This was a view I looked at when I was taking a break from studying, when I woke up in the morning, etc. The sunrise that morning was not filled with warm sunlight and inviting shades of warm blues, it was cold and almost made me feel claustrophobic. I took a picture of this sunrise not knowing why I felt incline to do so. This was that picture and I wanted to create my own sunrise.
