A Midnight Visitor in the Flying Owl Garden

Before starting a classical music track, I always put on 5 minutes of thunderstorm sounds — it helps me prep the canvas before diving into every detail.

That night I could swear I heard wings brushing past the window, so the owl in this painting got a little friend flying just behind it, half-hidden in the leaves.

Papa says I imagined the second owl. I think he just didn't look closely enough at the branches.
