In discussing this painting, the artist writes: “The design work in this new painting is meant to emphasize physical tension and create a sense of anticipation. The eagle is poised for flight, and the majority of the lines involved with the surrounding elements create long diagonals that give energy to the composition. Between these energetic lines and the posture of the bird, the story of this painting becomes not just about the moment portrayed, but about another moment that is soon to take place.”
