My latest watercolor -- from a dream

Dream by Will Noble/watercolor on paper/ 38" x 24"

I had a dream a few years ago of a golden eagle carrying a tree to barren land. At the time I was so moved by the dream that I created a composite image of it in Photoshop and kept it on my studio wall.
A few months ago I finally felt I wanted to actually paint it.

There are quite a few firsts in this work for me. I have never before painted a bird. (I usually leave that to Barbara Banthien.) I have never used such washes for such large areas as this required. So this was a very different (and much shorter) experience for me.

  1. Will: What an amazing new work. I believe this is the one we were discussing at Deb T's birthday gathering. It's absolutely stunning!
