Wedge-tailed Eagle Study – Original Painting by Geoffrey Carran

This intimate portrait captures the raw intensity and commanding presence of Australia’s largest raptor. Focusing on the striking details of the head and eye, Wedge-tailed Eagle Study explores the power and sensitivity of this iconic bird through expressive brushwork and close observation.

Painted using the contrasting techniques of washes and wipes with detailed tight brush work, inspired by a pair that regularly soar above Geoffrey’s Bellbrae studio, this work distills a moment of connection between artist and subject. The textured layering and rich earthy tones evoke the spirit of the Surf Coast landscape, while the eagle’s piercing gaze anchors the composition in strength and awareness.
