This is "Gladys" the Barn Owl.
 
This beautiful barn owl painting on reclaimed wood has been lovingly hand-painted by me in acrylic paint. The reclaimed wood has some absoultely stunning markings and character and  I have painted Gladys so as to celebrate the both beauty of the natural wood and the features of the barn owl. It would make a perfect wildlife gift for a wood lover.
 
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.
