Friday Face OFF -- Snowy Owl

For today's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of


I was browsing through an old file folder of
photo prompts and found this forgotten
pen-and-ink sketch of a snowy owl
that I did 3 years ago.


It's just done on white bond paper
because I intended to redraw it later 
on watercolour paper and then paint it,
but that hasn't happened yet.

Maybe someday? Who knows?

In the meantime, here it is.

    ☺️ Your owl obviously has a cheeky personality and I want to get to know it better. Lovely work! 🫢

  12. In the chicken coop on the farm, along with my grandfather's pool table, was a stuffed owl. The pool table was moved to Florida, the owl sadly went to the dump.

    1. @ Travel -- That must have been a huge chicken coop to accommodate a pool table! I hope the owl was mounted high up on the wall so it could keep an eye on who was cheating or not at pool.

  19. Hello Debra, Your owl looks like an illustration of something--perhaps it could be an illustration from a children's book.

    1. @ Tundra Bunny -- Yes, the original I drew it from was a greeting card, so it must have been from you, if you remember the image!
