| Red-tailed Hawk Soft pastel 19 X 25" original SOLD image #23 available as note cards or prints |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mimi's thoughts ~ Red-tailed Hawks are keen adaptors and survivors. I am always cheered to spot a red-tail as I drive around the west (and I probably make my passengers a little spooked my that :) ) . I like the light contrast on this pastel. I begin my pastels with the eye and build out from there. This hawk wears a bit of nearly all the colors in the palette! |

| Golden Eagle Soft Pastel 19 X 25" original SOLD image #63 available as note cards or prints |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mimi's thoughts~ Long ago, I had the pleasure to learn from and work with Mr. Dave Siddon, while volunteering at the Oregon Zoo. Dave had a special bond with one of the Golden Eagles, Phoenix. Phoenix always called out when Dave was around, because he thought Dave was his parent. This is my tribute to Phoenix and Dave. Two Oregon Originals! If you are in Southern Oregon, stop in to visit Dave and a menagerie of critters at Wildlife Images, www.wildlifeimages.org . |

| Bald Eagle Soft Pastel 19 X 25" original SOLD image #13 available as note cards or prints |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mimi's thoughts ~ This Bald Eagle was a treat to draw. I especially enjoyed working on the incredible, focused eye, set deep under it's eyebrow and the smooth, almost metallic beak. Talk about a creature built to see and hold on to its food. The feathers were such a soft contrast and I loved building the chocolaty depths of the neck and chest feathers. |

| Bald Eagle Soft Pastel 19 X 25" original available - email Mimi image #44 available as note cards or prints |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mimi's thoughts ~ Bald Eagles - Focus & Intensity defined! I love these classy citizens of the sky and water. These guys are some of my favorite neighbors in the park. On Yellowstone Lake, they fish for the native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout and sometimes knock a Barrow's Golden Eye duck out of the sky for a change of meal choice. Scan the shoreline and rivers for these majestic birds. When drawing this, I enjoyed using lots of curvy lines and the softness of the pastels to create depth. |
