Snowy Owl, oil on linen, 14"x11"

I love painting white, whether its snow or some kind of animal. I always have fun with all the subtle tones and neutral colors. Rarely-if ever-is anything in nature pure white. While the local color of the object may be completely white, the light source will almost always give it some kind of slight tone. This fact reminds me of the Transfiguration of Jesus, where it says in Scripture that His clothes became dazzling white, as no fuller on earth could make them. While I do have a couple spots of almost pure white paint in the highlights of this painting, I guess pure white in nature is usually reserved for Divinity.
