You know that I have a series of paintings called "Disappearing Treasures", which tells about animals and birds that are on the verge of extinction ?!
After writing the painting "In the Footsteps of a small Lynx", I became especially interested in the fate of animals and birds that are on the verge of extinction in Ukraine " And to be honest, with great sadness I learned that one of my favorite birds is also on the verge of extinction in Ukraine.
The barn owl is a rare species of owl . There are up to 220,000 pairs left in Europe. There are only about 30 couples in Ukraine. I also never saw this bird in nature, but as a child I often ran to the local zoo to look at them, and always, secretly, tried to pull out of the cage at least a small feather in memory.
