"Brother Eagles" Electrical Box Community Piece

This July, I was honored to receive the opportunity to beautify a small part of Pittsfield, MA with a painting of my favorite topic: birds! Eagles, more specifically: Golden and Bald Eagles to be exact. I created a collage of eagle imagery based on actual Golden/Bald eggs, plumage, flight, and portraits.

In total, the process of sanding, priming, and painting the box likely took about 10 hours. I used heavy body & lightfast acrylic, and it will be sealed with a clear, weatherproof coating to finish.

I hope my imagery conveys the beauty and strength of both eagles, and the freedom they stand for.
