Welcome to Friday Art! This is an African fish eagle ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.
Linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off and to Gillena's Art For Fun Friday.
I was in my local Loblaws supermarket a few days ago, I had not been there in years and was surprised at all the changes, mostly anti-theft. It is a large supermarket and was quite an open layout, you were free to wander in and out comfortably. Now there are gates at all entrances and exits. Retail theft is on the rise according to the news unfortunately.

Great sketch!!!
Same here... gates, products behind glass.... you need to call staff. Sad. Some people steal, all suffer.
I've been reading about all the shoplifting. It's horrible. I'm glad they're trying to cut their losses, and your higher prices.
Bellissima questa aquila!|
You have revealed the essence of the eagle
Such a wonderful artpiece! So great to see it this Friday. Yes, it is frightening at some places to shop these days. While Whole Foods is very upgraded just with a shopping cart..or so I was told. I don't shop there anymore. I like a one stop kind of place..like Walgreens for drugs and alcohol.
Retail theft seems to be more problematic everywhere.
Nice ACEO of the eagle.
...thanks for the introduction to an African fish eagle!
majestic art dear Christine
i agree that such theft is on rise
Beautiful Eagle. Theft is on the rise here, too! The world is changing, hugs!
Nicely done Christine. Your drawings are just getting better and better.
Always enjoyable to see your art Christine. Anti-theft devices are everywhere it seems. People are retrieving or reporting their stolen items having attached air tags in them first.
There is a lot of that over here too, sadly.
That Eagle is gorgeous :-D
Yes, the shoplifting can be quite blatant here.
First I love , love, love your painting. It is excellent. I have never heard of that store before but I am not surprised at the anti theft precautions. Here the theft is over the top. Store employees say, "It's not my job to try and stop them" Only because the thieves get violent. They are right, I wouldn't be fighting someone trying to get a basket of food out the door. It is horrible through, the self check out is the worse. I am happy you joined in FFO this week and wish you a happy weekend.
Lovely watercolour, Christine.
Thanks for linking to AFFF
MUCH♡LOVE

Retail theft is such a scourge in so many places, Christine. Your drawing today, though, is exceptional and did much to lift my spirits. God bless!
Great work, looks very good.
Awesome art.
The Eagle looks great!
Te quedó hermosa. Me encanto. Te mando un beso.
Unfortunately retail theft is on the rise here in the UK too.
I like your African Fish Eagle.
All the best Jan
Powerful drawing.
Love your regal eagle.
What a stunning eagle. Too bad retail theft is on the rise.
