Have been doodling a bit with acrylic paint recently as an antidote to the stress of commuting and the sundry vicissitudes of life. This image of the Celtic eagle intrigued me and I had a go at reproducing it.

Apparently, in Celtic stories the Eagle (Iolair, Fireun) is a bird noted for wisdom and long life. The eagle represents swiftness, strength, keen sight, and the knowledge of magic. It helps you to see hidden spiritual truths. The bird is considered a bridge between the worlds- this world, earth and water. Birds are also viewed as symbols of bearer of messages.
