The proud eagle by Carole Russell

amazing........................looks so real

Thank you Ruth :)

Really like the way you have painted the feathers folding around the wing, looks very convincing! Annie

Oooh so arrogant! Well done.

Thanks for that Annie. Half accidental, - I roughed them in and it looked ok so I painted them - :)

Thank you Diana - that's just the effect I was after!

This is sooo good, the feathers are amazing, how long did it take you? One of my very first watercolours was of an eagle, but it's not a patch on this one, well done.

Hey Val and thank you very much! Not sure how long exactly - started in Monday but kept putting it down and finishing something else. Probably 8 hours ish. That seems to be my problem at the moment - so many unfinished projects, so I have been finishing them this week - it's quite nice to have different things to dabble in but had my head spinning for a bit.

Love all your work, definitely makes me want to try acrylic! All the best with your same scene project. Like Monet! :) Thanks for showing your work. Happy painting!

Thank you Colleen, I appreciate your support. Monet eh - oh er!

He's a beauty.... this will be stunning when mounted and framed

Thank you Steve - I was rather "proud" of him when I'd finished
