Roger spends many hours a week in front of his painting easel along with painting in his class at PSU. This term he has an instructor who is also a mentor and she's taken Roger "under her wing" so she's making it possible for him to study with her during the full school year. She has taught painting for 35 years and she has trained many students who are renowned artists in the Portland area. This is her last year before retirement so Roger is extremely fortunate to have met her.
Roger loves eagles because they symbolize freedom to him. This love has transferred itself to the intricate beauty of his painting of this magnificent bird. The painting is 30 by 40 inches and he used acrylic paint.
One other assignment in class was to paint water and make it look realistic with shadows and depth. This is his interpretation of a scene at the Oregon coast near Seaside.
