Eagle with Fish

 

Colorado Pink Alabaster

13"x7"x13"

The fierceness of this bird of prey is emphasized by the dark red coloring of the stone on his head. The iron oxide in the stone has created this dynamic color. The bird grasps his dinner, a trout ,in his talons. The feet help to give this bird a sense of flight as the open shape under it creates movement. I used to live in Florida where most of the eagles are fishermen! I did a lot of wind surffing on the lakes. Sometimes an eagle would swoop down and pick a fish out from the water in front of you. It was one of those wonderful moments in nature that you can only have if you are silent.
