Chief David Bald Eagle

12x9 watercolor using White Nights paints done over last weekend on Masters Touch marker paper 46 lb. Ref courtesy Creative Spark/Water Media host Sandra via Steve Atkinson's copyright free photos. This old fellow has seen a lot of years and his right eye appears to have a cloudiness. I enjoyed his headdress and feathers that completes the costume. 2022 Kay Smith
