On the ranch, there are both golden eagles and bald eagles.
The golden eagle is the bigger of the two with a 7 foot wing span.

If you remember the photo of my orchid from yesterday, here is a painted version.
I felt inspired to paint it. I plan to also paint the orchid in oil paint. But I really like the coolness of the watercolor mixed with gouache paint. Very vibrant and alive. I believe I will tone it down with the oil paint. IT will definitely present a different mood. I also believe the oil paint will give a heavier feel to the artwork.
