Owls

Owls have long been a part of folklore, classic literature, and modern films as symbols of wisdom and a representation of the proverbial unknown, and for artist Jeannine Chappell these mysterious birds are a source of light and inspiration. From the heart-shaped face of the barn owl to the penetrating gaze of the great horned owl, Chappell's portraits shine a light on their expressive features and sheer physical presence. Twelve of Chappell's portraits are included in this calendar, along with facts about each owl, bringing us closer to these intensely wild creatures.
