"North Shore Eagle" by Carol Peterson ( carolpeterson@suddenlink.net ) 11" x 15" watercolor $150 The bald eagles are back on the North Shore of Lake Superior.  These elegant birds have been eating the seagull babies.  We vacation on the North Shore every summer and a couple of summers ago my son-in-law took some fantastic action pictures of the eagles.  He has a much better camera than I do and can capture animals in motion easily.  This painting started with an underpainting ala Judi Betts.  I then masked the light areas and poured watercolor over the painting.  This was finished with some negative painting and adding shadows.

"Wings of Freedom" is an original oil painting on a 24" x 30" x 1.5" stretched canvas, all sides painted, so it can hang unframed.  Being a Texan is something to be proud of. Being an American is  an even bigger reason to be proud! The land of the free, and the home of the brave. God bless America, my home sweet home. We must strive to keep our wonderful freedom, always being thankful to God, and those who fight to keep America free! Thank you for reading my blog and looking at my work.
