“Casper” Downey Owl

This original watercolor captures the striking beauty of a Downy Woodpecker clinging to a tree trunk, its bold black-and-white plumage, vivid red nape patch (on the male), sharp beak, and spotted wings rendered with precise, layered washes against a soft pale sky background. The natural light cedar frame features an organic edge that integrates seamlessly with the painted trunk, adding rustic depth and a sense of the bird in its woodland habitat. This signed, 10” x 5” tall, one-of-a-kind mixed-media artwork conveys quiet focus and natural elegance, perfect for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, or cozy cabin, forest, and wildlife-themed decor.
