Follow this Bald Eagle oil pastel to a finished painting.

The Bald Eagle has been birthed with the name “Spirit” he seems to be satisfied and I am pleased. This name represents my original intent and feels about the subject; I'm comfortable.

With some final changes, Wednesday Spirit will have his portrait professionally shot. This will allow the image to be printed approx 16x20. Should you be interested in a giclée of this image, the information will be posted in the next two weeks after we work with his printer next week.

The original is framed and ready for the fall juried season. Now he will have the opportunity to see what the jurors think about his Spirit.

Thanks again for staying with me on this journey. Would like to believe you found the trip interesting.

Enjoy what's left of summer vacation and the Olympics. School will start early in August for some kids. Time flies when you're having fun.

Stay cool and pray for rain to benefit our farmers and ranchers in the mid-west. I wish you each, good health, joy and prosperity. 

Spirit will be back in about two weeks to say "hello"
