Into the Mist – Bald Eagle
With a wing spread of six to seven-and-a-half feet, a bald eagle in flight is the essence of power and grace. By looking slightly down upon this majestic bird, I have tried to give the viewer the point of view of a second eagle in the air.
This eagle is a mature adult bird. Eagles gradually develop full white plumage on head and tail when four or five years of age. The habitat of bald eagles is often near waters - rivers, lakes and oceans. In this painting I have attempted to show the atmosphere which an eagle would experience while flying into the mist.
