I did a little study of a spotted little owl (Athene brama) aka spotted owlet done in Krita. The photo I studied to paint this was by Ram Mallya as it appears on Owls of the World: A Photographic Guide, second edition, by Heimo Mikkola.

If you like owls, that book is super good! So many good pictures of owls by photographers all over the globe and so much information about so many different owls. Owls are great.

‘A #spottedowlet (Athene brama) emerging from a hollow within a yellow flame tree situated in the university campus. This species of owl is characterised by its small size, primarily nocturnal feeding behaviour and frequent occurrence in urban environments. Without a sharp eye, this spotted owlet goes unnoticed … These spotted owlets, somehow, have shown their adaptability, finding a habitat within this modified urban environment’
