My cousin Cat graciously gave permission to paint from one of her photographs. She captured a series of this eagle who was fishing for a meal. I wanted to capture the bird especially those wings, and the water splash. Quite a challenge but I was feeling brave!
This is acrylic on a 12x24 stretched canvas. The background water was done with a series of washes to create a feeling of depth. But also to soften all edges so as not to compete with the bird & splash.
I'm pretty happy with this one and wanted to post it now - while I'm still painting the edges of the stretched canvas.
