MY REACTION:  This is such a wonderfully bold and energetic piece.  The application of paint, the strength of the colors, that unique and thoughtful Eagle.  The expressive etched word.  I love this one!

CONTENT:  This Eagle says, "I know what I know."  And that knowing is power.  Trusting that knowledge is power.  Believing your spirit is power.

ARTISTIC CONCERNS:  Mmmmm..  this was a joy to create.  Vibrant free layers of color.  Organic textures.  And I used a dental tool to engrave accent lines around the "window" where the eagle appears and to etch in the word, "Power."

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:  Eagle was painted on a gorgeous panel of Belgian linen bonded with traditional rabbit-skin glue to a ¼” thick piece of masonite. The linen was primed with top-grade, old school gesso. It is the perfect surface for detailed painting. The texture of linen is so much finer than canvas.

The sides of the panel have been painted black.  This painting can be displayed unframed on a small decorative easel or plastic stand.  Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no glass or matting. 

 

I know what I know.

(Power.)
