Where it works
Two small Tengmalm's Owls in Audubon's plate, one perched upright and facing you, the other spreading brown-and-white spotted wings beneath it, on a cream page. The pale ground keeps it light for a nursery, a kids room or a reading nook at 16×24 in natural wood, with his Great Cinereous Owl.
