| CANADA $20 2014 'Soaring Bald Eagle' | |
The reverse image by Canadian artist Claudio D'Angelo features a unique
portrait of a Bald Eagle in flight. As the eagle turns abruptly in
mid-air, angling itself to dive, we are presented with a view of the
graceful raptor's underside. Its outstretched wings, dark body, powerful
legs, white tail and head, and yellow beak and talons are presented in
stunning detail and full colour through selective paint application. In
the background, we see the isolated shoreline of the body of water
below. A steep pine-covered hill rises to the left, its rocky shore
dotted with islands and outcroppings. In the far distance, a similar
shoreline rises on the opposite side of the water.
