Painting owl

Good afternoon people.
Very nice to see you, and we have new followers,
a special warm welcome to you all!

A few weeks ago there was a give away contest on Birds World.
I send an e-mail mentioned what bird I loved the most,
I love birds in general but most of all  I love the owl,
because that also stands for the night part  
in my nickname NightEssie.

Guess what, I won it!
It as a bit overwhelming, never thought I would win.
But I did, thank you so much Bertine,
for making me this lovely painting.

Today the package arrived,  and the painting is now hanging
above my working place.
Isn't it just the most lovely painting?
