A digital painting of a Golden eagle flying in a maelstrom of colors.  The eagle is Spirit. He lost one of his thumbs battling another male.  Unable to hunt, he could not survive in the wild.  He lives now at the Three Rivers Avian Center in WV, cared for and in the company of humans, but forever apart from his kind.  In this painting, I see him flying free and triumphant. Shot with a Canon XSi camera.
