Description
All painted today in paintshop 7 by throwing on the painttool(no paintbrushed ) then the smudge tool and smudging it all around with differant size smugde and paint -back and forth like that for hours till the job is done!..this guy took about 4 hours today!
This one is dedicated to Webshawdow... welcome back LAurie! GOsh I sure am happy you came back cause I missed your charming work...I know for a fact others did too... didn't know how much you were missed and loved on here- did you?
This is a painting I did today of a local owl - HE is a spotted owl .Saw this guy last week in a nearby local nature center..(Placerita Canyon one of the first places Gold was discovered in California)!
The thing that intrigued me about this paticular owl is that it was maskless... maybey it up and fell off when it was flying (jks!)
(also saw a redtailed hawk and a California condor which is one of the rarest birds in the world!)
Anyways, ...hardly any of this painting is from the photo, cause its all be repainted over about 5 times and is all my origianl work you see here...
Going to keep this one short and sweet -lol -all that painting my eyes need a rest the world is getting to be a very fuzzy place!...LOL

beautiful work kimmers... he has such character in the expressive eyes, long beak & claws... & the moon seems to think so too :]
The expression of this owl is priceless. does he/she know something we don't? ... and the moon doesn't seem too concerned. What's with that? :-) Beautiful painstaking artwork Kim ... Excellent image. I love it!
I do believe that this is the most woeful owl I have ever seen :-) And it is most certainly the most delightful and excellent too! Exquisitely done!
Oh my..he looks just fantastic. Your work is just magnificent. Excellent work, Kim!!
Oh this is a superb painting!! I love the softness of the textures here and the bird's expression is fabulous!! Beautiful work!
Brilliant!! I love the look on his face!
Dear Kimarie, he does look sad, but then I think all owls have that sort of look about them some - so maybe he's really just "looking" sad. Realyl fanciful image and such a great job with your smudging! Owls have always been some of my favorites - and - i walked out on the balcony abotu a month ago and a barn owl was sitting on the railing!!! We just stood and stared at each other for several minutes, and then it spread those great muffled wings and casually sailed off into the night! The moon is a cute feature, too. You alwasy do such excellent work!!! Love, Meredith
What a MAGNIFICENT painting Kimmers!!!! his feathers are so soft and...er...feathery!!! LOL! just the way they should be!!!! the tones in this are just incredible...so rich! yep...those eyes...sigh...they just draw you in a hold you like a magnetic!!!!!!! I'm really lovin' this one Kimmers!!!!!!!! and Freebird...oh girl, LUV that song! Lynard Skynard ROCKS!!!!
A most delightful, wise old creature. Beautifully done. Vote!
You are so fantastic with what you do, the results are just breath taking. There is just such a soft feel to all your work, that I find so enjoyable to look at Kimmer. i love that moon in the background, and the blues and greens, just go so well with the owl.......OUTSTANDING.........V........john
Wow ! Brilliant colored composition ! Fantastic expression and lightning ! A wonderful image ! Excellent work !!! VOTE
Ohh my.. the eyes smile smile smile Wauw this is a favorit. Soo cute... big smile :-)) Have a great day Vote Diana :-))
Cool and stunning style Kim, and the idea of painting/smudging on a photo so many times that this becomes something totally and cool artwork is a fantastic and original concept, I have to try that some day! Love this owl, how soft its feathers look and this expression on it's face! Cool play with lighting/shadow .. V
This looks outstanding! Love the colors and that sad look. Fantastic artwork! Excellent!!!
Great work.
Fabulous piece Kim!! I love the expression!! Your characters are so wonderful! Youu should be doing childrens books!!
Fabulous painted owl with a real wondeful expression! Her eyes are sooo cute and lovely! Glorious color contrast between the bird and the blue background! Bravo!!! V
Wow!!! Adorable and SO well done!!!
Another masterpiece...!!!!
Beautiful work and cute as punch ! ((::))
Beautiful artwork and it is such a cute owl. My compliments!
~~Great Style Kimmer...Always Enjoy Your Creativity....Magnificent Artwork!!~~
Simply enchanting! He looks a little sad, I love the cartoon portrayal of the moon. It makes it seem like a story illustration. I agree with Digimon, you should illustrate childrens books.
I'm always amazed everytime you upload something new. This is sooo neat, he does look sad and there's just something special about the image. Great job!
Awwwwwwwh, poor fellow sitting under the moon all on his own :( You must find a sweetheart for this little guy he's so sad from lack of love. A really superb illustration Kim, one to be proud of!!!
