I have finally gotten around to finishing my fish eagle painting.
Art group has started up again for the year and on Thursday our exercise was supposed to be a quick study of colour – testing out the transparency of acrylic paint. As usual I got carried away and my quick colour study turned into a full-scale painting to the dismay of Anne, our very patient teacher.
I never used to like painting still life pictures but things seemed to have changed and I am having so much fun with this one. Still a bit to do….

Congrats on finishing the eagle. He’s beautiful.
Awesome Jackie
Your eagle is lovely. What colour will the jug be?
Thank you Debra. The jug is white and blue horizontal stripes.
Jackie Jackie Jackie….. What have I known you now, 2 years? When I first stumbled upon you, I was amazed at just how talented you were for a supposed “amateur” artist. Your works since then have just grown leaps and bounds and trust me, your work is 10x better than most stuff I see in galleries down here. In Red RIver, we eat in a nice restaurant at least once every vacation. This particular restaurant has local art work adorning the walls, with each piece being for sale with a price tag clearly visible on the frames. You would not believe how much people are asking for pieces that are nowhere near as good as yours! They are wanting $500-$600 for works that are laughable compared to what you are doing. You REALLY do have a talent! I have a feeling that in a few years I will be able to tell people that I know Jackie the famous artist, versus Jackie the Hotel Empress and Amateur Wheat Beer Brewmeister!
Aw Mark – thank you for your wonderful comments. Hope I will be able to get that kinds money someday for my pictures
I’m about to start up a brew of marula beer too
Super Jackie! You captured the regal nature of the fish eagle beautifully!
These are lovely, Jackie. I so wish I could paint. Congrats on finishing the eagle.
Hugs,
Kathy
