The Golden Eagle is a truly magnificent bird of prey… So, it was an honour to create this in acrylic paint. Painting each feather and every detail by hand took a lot of time and patience. The Golden Eagle is a majestic king of the sky, beautiful and powerful. I’m so proud of this painting.

Here I’m painting the final reflections of the bright and deeply amber coloured eyes.

Here I’m painting the fine details of the soft light and shadows created by the growth patterns and details of the beak.

Here I’m painting the final details of the short white fluffy fine feathers at the base of the beak. They merge with the rich golden brown feathers that cover the eagles body.
