Owl Family Portrait

My sister is expecting her second child (and first girl) in June. Her baby room theme is owls, so I thought this would be a good time for Auntie to paint something for her future niece. I have some interesting slices of wood that have been sitting around my studio, and this is a great excuse to put them to use. I'm plotting out something along the lines of an owl family portrait on the wood (which I've already prepped with gesso.) I don't have much more to show you this week than thumbnail sketches, so keep an eye out for future progress on this project!
