‘Highlander’ – Golden Eagle in a wild landscape

‘Highlander’ – Golden Eagle in a wild landscape, is the latest painting off the easel and one I have longed to get to grips with for some time. It took rather a while to complete, but it matches the idea in my head very closely.

Oil painting on Gesso board

Colin takes the presentation of his work very seriously! The entire picture is created from scratch.
He lovingly prepares each Gesso board to conservation standards, and uses hand-made oil paints from a specialist supplier. He also builds each individual frame specifically to complement the painting, and often finishes the frame with special wax varnish which he mixes himself. Some of the frames will have gold leaf applied to further enhance the effect.

Now framed in floating style using a beautiful Ivory and silver finished moulding

Painting size approximately = 575 x 390 mm.
