This is one of my favourite Ted Hughes inspired pieces. There is a beautiful oxymoron phrase in the poem which is the basis of my painting. The idea that the birds are free, yet are frustratingly stationary; the wings blend into the mountain tops to create the body of the eagles. I have used silver foil to enrich the colour scheme and to cool down the warm blues that I have used for the mountains, to better reflect the cold environment.
