Description

A few days ago I went down to our studio to sort through some of LJ's music. The morning sun was shining through the glass door and as I walked by I spotted something extraordinary. A giant osprey was sitting on a log near the studio. Stunned and excited, I prayed it would stay long enough for me to get my camera and take a picture. I was running around, my doxies were barking, but through the chaos the bird remained calm, turning his majestic head around to watch me while I snapped photos through the glass. And then with a mighty flutter he spread his magnificent wings and few away. This mystic visit made my day! Ospreys, which are raptors, usually mate for life. We have a couple who come back to Colorado every Spring To nest by a trout lake that is a few miles from my home. They feed on fish and always migrate to a warmer climate when the snows come. It is very rare to see them in the winter. And so my mystic visitor touched my heart, And inspired this art. Credits: Photo-art created in Photoshop CS, using original Osprey photo combined with painting techniques, and backgrounds (50 backgrounds by 5DS) and (River Deep/Mountain High by antje/bez) Hope you enjoy.

m m m ... magnificent, majestic, mystic ... you are so right. There are precious few nesting pairs of ospreys in the UK, and they are very closely guarded. And your delicious art deserves an Mmm all of it's own. Mike
