Welcome to Alexandra's Sunday Sketches! This piece is done in my sketchbook (9" x 12") in watercolour pencil and crayon. It's an Eagle portrait. Huband M thought he should look more fierce being an eagle and all that. Then he wondered why all my art pieces are happy ones. I suppose the reason is that I like beautiful things? I can't imagine why I would paint something angry and violent.
I hope you remembered to set your clocks forward earlier this morning at least for most of Canada and the US! Have you ever messed up on this? I have shown up in church an hour late wondering where everyone was! This was decades ago, so I can't blame it on age!

I love your happy eagle! Our clocks don't go back till the Easter weekend here, and yes, I have often forgotten! BTW, we are allowed to carry things up to 10 pounds, but it has to be a backpack. Have a happy Sunday, hugs, Valerie
Happy eagle is perfect and I just painted a chicken because it made me smile. I think we are all thinking along the same lines this Sunday. Have a lovely week.
Well, I do like the happy eagle a lot Christine. Have a wonderful day!

What a majestic eagle !
Happy Sunday !
It looks like your eagle is smiling :-)
This is wonderful, Christine! Happy Sunday!
I have to work later today. I hate losing that hour
I love your eagle portrait and I actually think he looks quite natrual. No need to make him more fierce.
I agree with you. I prefer happy, pretty pictures.
Christine ~ I find myself looking forward to your Sunday Sketches. This one is majestic and beautiful. I love how you can make "simple" look profound. Have a great Sunday.
wonderful eagle portrait and I do see the smile on the bird's face.
I think your eagle is quite majestic! I too love beautiful things, Alex does some dark but still beautiful works, while most of mine tend to be on the gentler side. I think that's just fine and I love your bird's expression.
Your eagle is beautiful and looks very powerful! I also love it to paint only beautiful things as the newspapers and TV are full of unhappiness what sometimes really frightens me. Thank you for sharing all the beauty within your illustrations!
Gorgeous eagle sketch! Bravo!
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
I am sure that I have forgotten at some point. These days though, most all of the clocks in our house, change themselves. Not too shabby.
You're eagle is perfect.
Your eagle is beautiful. Kudos to you on a painting well done.
