The book of my owl paintings will be released next month, after being postponed for two years due to the pandemic.  I just received my advance copy, and I am very pleased — with the images, the text (I wrote about each owl as well as my process in photographing the owls and then creating the paintings), and the design of the book by the publisher, Pomegranate.com.

 

I hope you will check it out — go here to be notified of the actual release date:
