This painting was inspired by a trip I did a number of years ago to Ireland.  We visited many castles on our trip and I took alot of reference shots as I knew I wanted to incorporate the subject into a painting at some point.  I decided to add in a Barn Owl as that turns out to be the most threatened species of owl in Ireland.  I found it to be a great addition as the ghostly white face and forward facing eyes give it a phantom-like presence suitable for a castle that's centuries old.  This framed original will look amazing in an office, livingroom or den.

10% of the sale of the original along with 10% of each print will go directly to The Owl Foundation found in Vineland, Ontario, Canada.  They do amazing work rehabilitating and nursing injured owls back to health.  www.theowlfoundation.ca
