The Eagle Has Landed



shadoutcarver asked if I could make her a painting to be a gift for a friend who is former Naval personal, and a big Apollo buff, naming his first boat "The Eagle" for "The Eagle has landed!"

This started out as a composite JPG, from different photographs I had taken of WedgeTail Eagles, and the head of a Australian Fishing Eagle. Once I made the "Frankenstein" jpg, I used it as a reference. I put a soft blend over the entire bird to prevent 'cartooning'.

Tools used: Basic Oil, textured oil, sketcher pen, soft blender.
