Moonchild: Striped Owls / Source Material

A big, woody vine is called a liana; this one wrapped around a tree to one side of the trail in the Amazon forest. I sat and drew it for a couple of hours, when a gray-winged trumpeter started curiously pecking my art gear (see video). Also note the large moth in the shadows, nearly invisible.

This sketch is from the owl page in The Field Guide to Birds of Trinidad and Tobago, which I painted. For "Moonchild" I turned her head to face her offspring.
