The Watcher – Barn Owl
Artwork by Sophie Parkhill | SP Wildlife Art
 
This painting features a barn owl in a calm, alert pose — quietly observing from its perch, camouflaged against the backdrop. The soft feather detail and focused expression give the piece a sense of stillness and quiet presence.
 
The Watcher was shortlisted in the final three for the Wildlife category of the SAA Professional Artist of the Year Awards 2023. The original painting has since been sold to a private collector, but this 6 x 6 inch square card offers a lasting way to enjoy the piece.
 
Blank inside, it’s ideal for a range of occasions — from birthdays and thank-you notes to just sending a thoughtful message — or for anyone who simply appreciates British wildlife and birdwatching.
