Immature Bald Eagle - 25th Aniversary Edition

25 years ago, I could never have imagined how deeply one Bald Eagle would become woven into my life as a wildlife artist. Wambli came to me at the very beginning of my career. I saw both vulnerability in her and an extraordinary strength. That became the heart of the original painting titled “Immature Bald Eagle”. That painting sold in 2001 at my very first art show. Her image traveled around the world with my work. Many people have asked whether that exclusive original painting could ever be available. It could not. Years later, I unexpectedly stood in front of Wambli again. It felt like seeing an old friend. That reunion stayed with me, and from it came the pose that inspired this study. Now, 25 years after the original, returning to Wambli has offered something I never expected, a rare second chance to own an original study of the same remarkable Eagle. Perhaps some opportunities really do come around only once every 25 years. For me, creating this has felt like revisiting a beautiful friend.

Giclée - Artist Proof Print Edition is a signed and numbered limited edition print. An Artist Proof is the process of the artist manually matching the original painting colour to the limited edition giclée print colour. For example, the pupil of an animal’s eye may be slightly darker on one Artist Proof than another. Each Artist Proof is slightly different in colour / different in color. An original if you will. Many artists charge a 20% premium because of this. Artist Proof Print Editions are usually limited to 10% (20 prints) of the Regular Print Edition (200 prints) for example.
