This was something I made for my mate Colin on his birthday last month. We’ve been together for 3.5 awesome years now and I look forward to many more with him. Eagles court in several ways: Nest building, vocal exchanges and displays, prey deliveries, flights together in close formation, and one of the most dramatic displays is to lock talons and spin. This is known as cartwheeling and it’s an aerial dance I’d love to partake of if I could. That’s what I’ve depicted here– Colin and I dancing, eagle style. This was a speed-paint and took about 2-2.5 hours, digital. By popular demand, this piece is now for sale on my website.
