“The Eagle, majestic bird of prey, symbolic inspiration to artists, religions and organizations. I began searching for eagle reference materials at my brothers book store early in December of 2012. There are so many photos, drawings, paintings and writings about eagles. I was confronted with countless artistic possibilities of eagles living in the natural world. My brain was overwhelmed with scenes of eagles, soaring, hunting, mating, tending their young on cliffs or in trees. The photo reference materials were so beautiful I wondered why I thought I could paint something as wonderful as the photos. |
