eagle – Spyder Webb Fine Art

Saint Grizz & Wohali

I painted Saint Grizz just before the pandemic. My client then commissioned Wohali (Cherokee for eagle). Both were gifts for his father. I haven’t painted this exact style for a few years, but it was fun, and I’m happy with the result.

Both are acrylic on stretched canvas, 25×25″ so a lot bigger than I usually work. I think the thing holding me back from painting more larger works is just the expense and difficulty of shipping them safely and securely. These were both relatively local, so no shipping was involved.

The best way to ship paintings this size is to buy shipping boxes specifically made for paintings. I did that a few times years ago when we lived in Pittsburgh and I shipped paintings around the country for exhibitions. They’re great, very sturdy, beautifully cushioned, almost bomb proof!

Carries-Their-Prayers
25×25″ Acrylic on stretched canvas

In many Native American traditions the eagle, flying the highest, carries the peoples’ prayers to the Creator.

This was a first try at a bald eagle commission. I say first try, because the client purchased a bear portrait (Saint Grizz) and asked for a bald eagle in the same style. While I’m really happy with this one, the style really didn’t match as closely as it should have, so I painted another one. I’ll post that completed eagle next week along with the earlier bear portrait.

Do you like it? If you do, imagine what fun it would be having this original artwork delivered right to your door (like where else would it get delivered?).
