Follow this Bald Eagle oil pastel to a finished painting.

Day 7-8: This ended up being two short work days. Continued to work on the head, more rework on the beak and started to focus on the darker feathers.

Sometimes it's hard to see much change in the painting from day to day. Example, refining the ends of the feathers on the right side take time and patience plus the development of the dark feathers which are secondary to the painting. It's like watching grass grow. 

Keep thinking of a name. He is looking for something unique in a name, special to this space, time and year. Enjoy my travel through this experience. See you again in two days.
