One day, on my way home from Bundaberg, I spotted a magnificent wedge-tailed eagle in the distance, tearing into a kangaroo carcass. As I got closer, I realised just how enormous he was—truly a sight to behold. Unfazed by my presence, he allowed me the rare opportunity to stop on the side of the road and sketch him.
Luckily, I had my Derwent pencils and sketch pad in the car, though I regretted not having a camera to capture the moment. Still, I managed to complete a detailed sketch before he eventually took off. Watching him run down the road to gain speed before lifting into the sky was nothing short of breathtaking.
I plan to create a painting of him in flight soon. In the meantime, I’m sharing one of the sketches I did that day—I hope you like it. I originally hesitated to post it, feeling it wasn’t quite up to my standards, but I plan to sit down one day and refine it into a more detailed piece.
This acrylic painting is available for sale, framed and ready to hang, priced at $1,250.
