Original Digital Painting by Katie Better at www.katiebetter.com

Teamed up with Katie to create this chalkart painting which was inspired by a truly remarkable little owl named Zeus. Zeus is a blind western screech owl whose eyes look like a twinkling galaxy. His starry eyes are the result of clots of protein an blood pigment, but he also has cataracts. He only has around `10% of his vision, so he cannot be released back into the wiled. Zeus today happily lives at a wildlife learning center in California and continues to inspire daily visitors.
