I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I find it absolutely incredible how many resources are available to artists here... My friends had a pass to the zoo and they were able to get me in as a free tag-a-long guest and I was able to fill my camera memory card with lots of original pictures of a bald eagle. Back in the day, it would have been very challenging to find reference material for a painting like this. 10" x 8" acrylic. 4.5 hours.
