The iris is gray or brown or red, the cere and bill are black or blackish and the tarsi and toes are yellow. A pair of harpy eagles usually only raise one or two chick every 2–3 years. Nowadays Harpy eagle is qualifies as near threatened species. Where are less then 50 000 individual of them on our planet. It is sounds not so bad as it is. I was inspired by that mighty eagle and try to show their power and majesty. Using variety materials I try to show the many texture from leaves to feathers, and to convey the general condition of art.
