Description
PHILIPPINE EAGLE......DAVIS IIWATER COLORS ON 140 lb. PAPER
35 hours to complete but finally done, hope you enjoy this rare Eagle.
The Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), also known as the Monkey-eating Eagle, is an eagle of the family Accipitridae that is endemic to forests in the Philippines.
It has brown and white-coloured plumage, and a shaggy crest, and generally measures 86–102 centimetres (2.82–3.35 ft) in length and weighs 4.7 to 8 kilograms (10 to 18 lb).
Among the rarest, largest, and most powerful birds in the world, it has been declared the Philippines national bird.[2] It is critically endangered, mainly due to massive loss of habitat due to deforestation in most of its range. Killing a Philippine Eagle is punishable under Philippine law by twelve years in jail and heavy fines.

Sure glad you enjoyed my PHILIPPINE EAGLE, it is done on 140 lb. paper
(Weight ; means that 500 of those sheets will weigh a certain amount. For example: 500 sheets of 140 lb watercolor paper will weigh 140 pounds. Weight can also be determined by grams per square meter. So, if a paper is rated at 640 g/m2, that means that one square meter of that paper weighs 640 grams.
I realize it sounds misleading but that's how they market it.
Drop on by and see the rest of my jungle critters.
Have a great day and Chow 4 now

THIS BIRD. IT LOOKS SO BADASS, AND THIS PAINTING MAKES IT LOOK MORE BADASS. This sure is a brilliant painting! ;u; I wish I can see one LIVE. Even just SEE, not touch.
And BTW... I noticed how you are familiar with the Philippines... How so?

I think you should paint or do a drawing of a bird, I know youcan do them good because you did the Dove with M.Jackson.
So get out your art su[pplies and show us what ya got.
Thanks for your support and comments.

The word Great makes me blush, so i don't want to blush any one the wrong way.
Hav'nt heard from ya 4 a while, but i have not bin blush'n either.
I had 2 use my 0.0004 brush on some of the feathers but thats what it takes i reckon.
Well i must blush off now + thanks
