Calls in the Manitou Passage - Photorealistic Painting of Bald Eagle Screeching

2022

Painted with such exacting detail it is hard to believe it is not a photograph. This piece is framed in a simple wooden frame measuring 27 x 27 inches. Rick Pas Screaming Young Kestrel 2 acrylic on panel 12h x 12w in 30.48h x 30.48w cm RPA016 ARTIST'S STATEMENT Creating is an addiction. With all the highs and lows you would expect. I am interested in the surface textures and creating paintings that portray them in realistic detail. Hopefully a viewer will feel they can run a hand over the feathers and moss, or grasp an object in the painting. This detail is usually composed in an abstract design. The design can occur naturally or be arranged by me.

"First Flight, Two Weeks" is an original oil on linen painting by Texas Artist Robert Fobear and measures 40x60 inches. This extraordinary piece captures a mesmerizing autumn scene, where two majestic eagles perch high up in a tree, keeping a watchful eye over their two adorable baby eagles nestled in the nest. The artist skillfully portrays the changing colors of autumn with vibrant green and brown leaves, creating a captivating contrast against the cloudy sky. Fobear's attention to detail and ability to evoke emotion through his artwork truly shines in this stunning masterpiece. "I believe that true artists never stop learning or challenging themselves to new frontiers of visual expression. I have found myself the most comfortable in Traditional realism. As I begin a painting, my first thought is of the great...
