White-Tailed Sea Eagle Painting

A recent painting in acrylics of a White-Tailed Sea Eagle.

'The Eagle Has Landed'
Acrylics, 18" x 14"

I chose to paint this one in acrylics as I felt that medium would lend itself better to the composition than my usual watercolours. I'm not a frequent user of acrylic, so I found it quite difficult to begin with, and I nearly gave up half way through.

I'm really pleased with the result. The water has turned out well, and I feel that you can almost hear a splash as the eagle hits the surface!
