Owls

Today marks the beginning of a new piece of artwork. I am going to Lowes here in a bit to buy a new wood panel, and then I am going to begin working on a painting of owls. Such beautiful creatures, I know I am going to have fun with this project.
Now if I could just get ahold of the person who is commissioning it to find out how she would like them colored. I am torn between neutral colors of browns, creams, and whites, or vibrant vivid colors that are totally off the map. I currently need to go get the wood panel it is going to be on and sketch it out!
