Famed for its mythical wisdom, the owl is a bird with a reputation. With peripheral vision over all it surveys thanks to the unique flexibility of its neck, it is one of nature’s wonders - all-seeing and therefore perhaps all-knowing and definitely worthy of its title, The Scholar. As our premier artist of forest and field, Debbie Boon has a particular gift for painting wild birds, and this exquisitely executed long eared owl shows her at her best.
