Description
Part of the predators series. This depiction of a golden eagle is deep in thought, eyeing up their next prey.
The white plumage on their chests feels like a glow coming from deep within them.
Set on a backdrop of deep indigo, to give a sense of emerging from shadow.
Oil on canvas
40x50cm
Ger Hughes is originally from Wicklow, Ireland and has lived in Dublin for 15 years.
As a child he used to draw endlessly, improving little by little over his formative years. Having sought out a profession in digital design, he found himself doing traditional drawing less and less. After doing some life drawing and falling in love with charcoal, he craved a little more. 5 years ago he picked up a paint brush and hasn’t looked back since.
He is passionate about rich, vibrant colour and lighting, and loves to challenge himself with different styles, techniques and a wide range of subjects.
All paintings are oil on canvas at the moment, although some future experimenting with other materials seems highly likely.
