Great Horned Owl Painted on a Hand

Look closely....this is a painting on a hand.  Isn't it amazing.  I do not know the name of the artist but I'm in awe of such talent.  I have posted additional pictures of  hand paintings of animals on my Nostalgic Collage blog if you'd like to see more.:  http://nostalgiccollage.blogspot.com/

I would love to know who the artist is to give credit.  Please let me know if you recognize the work.
