This image is a detail from my watercolour painting Portrait of a Bald Eagle, which I painted in portrait format. I cropped it to a modern square format. It shows the head and torso of a bald eagle sitting and looking to the left. While the background and the plumage of the bird of prey are depicted in an abstracted way with loose expressive brushstrokes, the head is painted in a more detailed and realistic way. The white feathers of the head and the strong yellow-orange beak stand out clearly against the background in various shades of blue from turquoise to indigo and the dark brown feathers of the body and are emphasised by this colour contrast and light-dark contrast.
The portrait in portrait format is also available in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
