"The Eagle has Landed" is a captivating piece that measures 14 x 11 inches. Rendered in colored pencil on black paper, this artwork vividly portrays the head and upper body of a bald eagle. In this striking depiction, the eagle's white head feathers stand out dramatically against its darker body, intertwined with the medium's natural advantage in bringing out vivid contrasts. The detailed strokes and precise shading techniques bring an almost lifelike texture and realism to the eagle’s plumage.

One of the most striking features is the eagle's sharp yellow beak and piercing eyes, which are showcased in profile view, emphasizing the bird’s intense and majestic demeanor. Against a soft, pastel blue background, the overall composition enhances the boldness of the eagle, celebrating its regal presence.

The inspiration behind this piece is the recent resurgence of bald eagles in Wisconsin. Once on the endangered list, these magnificent birds have made a notable comeback in the area, and this artwork is a tribute to their return. The bald eagle holds significant historical and cultural importance, particularly to the Native Americans of Wisconsin, who revered this majestic bird. "The Eagle has Landed" stands as a celebration of nature's resilience and beauty, encapsulated through meticulous craftsmanship and heartfelt inspiration.
