I love this painting. The simple and free strokes of the background contrast nicely with the power of the stare and brightness of the color splashes.

CONTEMPORARY GOLDEN EAGLE in OILS by OLGA WAGNER
According to Wikipedia, the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is one of the best known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. They are agile, powerful and intense birds. All you have to do is look at those eyes to see feel the intensity behind them.
I love this painting. The simple and free strokes of the background contrast nicely with the power of the stare and brightness of the color splashes.
This phase shows the underpainting done in transparents before I started adding definition and more color.

SOLD BLUE MACAW BIRD in OILS by OLGA WAGNER
Here comes some COLOR!
Hyacinth Macaw is almost entirely a deep shade of solid blue, with only slight patches of bright yellow around the eyes and beak. from what I have learned Hyacinth Macaw is the largest of all Macaw species and it also sounds as if it one of more gentle and friendly birds out there!

SOLD - ROOSTER PAINTING IN OILS by OLGA WAGNER and RUNNING ISSUES
How is this for one ANGRY Rooster...The typical expression on Roosters tends to be "intense", but this little dude is down right fierce...He looks like he is ready to pick a fight if you let him.....
I guess, I decided to post this
angry dude instead one of my more pleasant birds (eagles), because of
the not such a great day that I am having. My body seems to be angry
with me for asking it to cooperate. Jeeeze, it's not easy getting
old!...

I attempted a short jog this afternoon, but had to cut it short after about 1 mile. My Quads were screaming and turned into blocks of concrete. Last couple of months, I have been experimenting with different shoes and was successful in finding some that eliminated my knee pain. Now, I am alternating between Atra Superior trail shoes (which I love - but are too rough on pavement) and Nike Free Runs 5.0 for road. I am not sure why my quads (and only my quads) are of the sudden taking such a beating...This is highly aggravating...
This is me after today's run:

CONTEMPORARY BALD EAGLE OIL PAINTING by OLGA WAGNER
This painting of a gorgeous Bald Eagle has areas of thick oil paint application using the palette knife. When you look at it in person, his hairdo has a 3-D look to it...Pretty amazing. I loved using the transparent paints as foundation for the painting an keeping most of the background transparent. It makes the bird come to life...This painting is bit larger than the others in this series. It's 12 x 12 x 0.75.

SOLD - FRESH START with CONTEMPORARY EAGLE by OLGA WAGNER and ART SHOW
Some family issues forced me to take about 6 month off from painting...Oh boy...I missed playing in my studio....Now that stars are aligning in my favor, I have started a new "Winged" Series in preparation for my upcoming Show that is being held next Friday at Local Color Gallery in Raleigh, NC. You ask: Why Birds??? Well...I feel like I am being given an opportunity for Fresh Start. A Fresh Start in my life and surely a Fresh Start in my ART. Since, I have never painted a bird series, it perfectly FITS my Fresh Start philosophy!
