This is yet another fascinating stop-motion video depicting the creation of another of artist Carel Brest van Kempen's paintings. This time, it's a Spectacled Owl, a widespread bird of the American tropics that favors heavy woods near water and feeds heavily on crabs.


Carel Brest van Kempen published a stunning book, Rigor Vitae: Life Unyielding [my review] and writes the art blog that goes by the same name, that might be of interest to you.
