Sandra Phryce-Jones replied:
Thank you Alfred strange the feathers evolved at the end of my brush I was fearing them so much detail then they just happen ..some times the medium of Water colour and acrylic when water is involved strange things happen like magic !!
Victoria Lisi

Mary Wolf
Sandra, you've done such a wonderful job painting this majestic eagle. Stunning work. l/f
Sandra Phryce-Jones replied:
Thank you so much Mary the acrylic medium was a challenge with the feathers to make a meal of the detail in his feathers ?so I just did a water colour move wet in to wet and magic happened detail appeared such a surprise fun I love the loose flow you achieve with your application so delicate

Sandra Phryce-Jones replied:
Thank you Kathy when I paint for a gift magic happens ie the feathers where a fright for me then they just seem to appear amazing
Hartmut Jager
Yes, hmmm indeed, but then - the world would not have seen your glorious Eagle painting! How about making a reasonable big courtyard / garden area that can be protected with a Chicken wire mesh? :-)
Mary Machare
Riveting! Beautiful painting of this majestic bird. LF
Sandra Phryce-Jones replied:

Wow the detail is your Eagle portrait is brilliant! What a delight ,such a proud pose.! l
Sandra Phryce-Jones replied:
Hi Bob thanks it is part of the bird taken from a photo on the web but the photographer wanted a fee As this was a gift to my family member I honored the photographer by not posting the full portrait of the golden eagle it was against the background of Pauls childhood camping ground were he hunted with his uncle I wish I could post the full portrait as the feathers turn out fine thank you again I hope you will post more of your painting on FAA :)
Zina Stromberg
Excellent details, great artwork, Sandra! Lf
Sandra Phryce-Jones replied:
Thank you so much Zina as I love your Bird art you have so much talent they look like they are going to move where you live are they really alligators roaming around can you swim in waterways ? They look awsome and fierce predators ! The most dangerous we have are snakes and wild ex-domestic cats and dogs !your photography is just wonderful
