My two great themes are water & light. I see myself as a master of light. My goal in this painting: to capture both the eagle’s flight & the play of light on the surface of rippling water. My other goal... paint an eagle realistically. I wish to simultaneously acknowledge the place of painting in the modern world & to render what is seen in a manner that approaches verisimilitude. The bald eagle has been hijacked as a symbol by the American Imperial power structure. This does not interest me. The raptors, like the sharks, are the most beautiful creatures of all. Bald Eagle. Reflection of Bald Eagle. My contemplation of the great source of life... light itself.
