Bald Eagle Mates

I'm very pleased to now be selling my father's mixed media wildlife / birds of prey paintings here on my shop! 

• All paintings use a combination of traditional and digital techniques. The work begins with detailed drawings, in black or coloured graphite. Oil-painting washes are added before the image is scanned and completed with digital painting. All the prints on offer are somewhat smaller than the original works. 

• Prices are for museum quality giclée prints on canvas with stretcher frames included. Prints on paper, and some smaller sizes are available upon request.

• Shipped directly from printer. For non-North American orders, prints cannot be shipped with stretcher frames. Please email to inquire.

Painting description:

Unmistakable in its adult plumage, with its white head and tail, though younger birds are often mistaken for Golden Eagles. The head and tail become pure white in the bird’s 5^th year.  While the Bald Eagle is generally a bit heavier, only the Golden Eagle has broader average wingspan than this species 6-8 feet. Females are about 25% larger than males, and the size difference is readily apparent when a pair perch together. The Bald Eagle is an apex predator, and while it hunts on its own, it also scavenges, stealing fish from Osprey or mammals from foxes and coyotes. The painting depicts a mated pair that lived near Buckhorn Lake, north of Peterborough, Ontario.
