Tawny Frogmouth

by Dennis
(Orange NSW Australia)

This is a painting done from a photo at my brother's house in Sydney.

Here, a group of tawny frogmouths have for years been resting on and off in a paper-bark tree outside his kitchen window.

It looks very much like an owl but apparently it is not in the owl family.

I was after the sunlight in the bushes, on the main branch and on the tawny frogmouth itself.
