Bald Eagles, juvenile watching mature in flight at Oceanside, OR. 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. Framed size 27H x 33W inches.
Thumbnails show stages 1 through 4. Soft pastels don’t allow for too many changes, so the work had to be sprayed and set well before carefully making the juvenile eagle smaller to create a more convincible perspective. That also forced me to rework the sky and clouds, so now hoping those lines help with perspective.

Saguaro Cactus and surrounding scrub – January in the Sonoran Desert south of Phoenix AZ – 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. This and the surrounding Saguaros all had either burn damage from forest fires or bacterial necrosis, a disease rotting them from the ground up. Local groups are rescuing Saguaros by cutting off an arm or the top and replanting them, helping to restore the fragile Sonoran Desert ecosystem.
