A study of a female Ornate Hawk-eagle from before. In the past I made many studies and drawing of this amazingly beautiful bird. Large and powerful, it really had an imposing presence. Incredible markings too - almost art-deco like and with a wonderful crest that could be laid flat as in the above painting. A bird of the forest, in flight it had short rounded wings and a long tail - built for maneuverability. I did this study in watercolor - size is 11" X 7.5".

One of the most espectacular raptors of tropics,together with the asian mountain hawk eagles.
beautiful painting
I went searching for them in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We made it to the nest tree but there was no sign of the birds. The consolation prize was not so bad, Harpy Eagle.
me encanta tu pintura
Marc, I have to agree, an amazing raptor! I do love the Mountain Hawk Eagles too and would love to paint them one day.
Thanks Cynthia!
John, I would love to see one in the wild! But a Harpy....... Great bird too - wish I had seen one myself as this bird would make for some amazing studies.
oleos de aurora cabeza - thank you so much!
