The original is a watercolour

This is one of Glen's most atmospheric and loosely handled wildflower compositions: the summer meadow rendered as atmosphere and suggestion as much as botanical precision

the venation of the wings

the antlers and head position all had to be exactly right

Snowy Owl — Giclée on Paper Silk Scarves The original is a watercolourA Snowy Owl launches from a lichen covered rock wings spread to their full span, filling the upper half of the canvas, the yellow eyes fixed directly on the viewer. This 1982 watercolour is one of Glen's most dramatic and formally bold compositions: the white owl against a pale winter sky, distinguishable only by its feather texture and the shadows within the wing, the lichen covered tundra rock below providing the only warm colour in the painting.
