Elf Owl on Ocotillo pairs the world's smallest owl with one of the Sonoran Desert's most distinctive plants — the elf owl, barely larger than a sparrow, perched on the spiny stem of an ocotillo with the complete self-possession of a bird that has never doubted its place in the world. Morelli captures this quintessentially Southwestern subject with a naturalist's precision and a sculptor's eye for the beauty of small things perfectly rendered.

Bronze, edition of 48. 10.5"H × 5"W. Available through Sage Creek Gallery.
