I.e. a barred owl!
She’s a Connecticut-based illustrator, designer, and fine artist who creates paintings and drawings inspired by botany, natural history, and textile design. Her artwork depicts the mystery, beauty, and fragility of nature through the use of botanical elements, intricate patterns, and vivid colors. Vasilisa sees her paintings as windows into a magical world, much like the one she enjoyed getting lost in as a child while reading fairy tales. She creates artwork using both traditional and digital mediums. Vasilisa graduated with a degree in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Her gorgeous handling of natural elements also gives me a touch of Kit Williams vibes, who I did a brief roundup up of here.
I have done a few puzzles of her artwork. They are pretty popular in the jigsaw puzzle community. https://eeboo.com/collections/vasilisa-romanenko
The Barn Owl at that link is very well done!
Wow, this is a beautiful painting. The owl looks so realistic that if you made the rest a bit less fairy-taley (like the mushrooms growing so perfectly on the branches), I’d scroll past this and think it’s a photo. And her other paintings are just as pretty. Thank you for sharing her amazing art.
I agree! Facial disc and flight feathers are on point!

I first read this as Katt Williams! 🤣
