The Eagles in our midst

'Aquilina' by Jody Broomfield

Eagles in the City

The Bald Eagle will now migrate onto the streets of Vancouver, Vancouver Island and beyond to complete the trilogy of public arts projects by the BC Lions Society. The first being the Orca coming out of the Pacific Ocean, then the Spirit Bear coming out of the forests of Northern BC and now the Bald Eagle soaring through the skies of the West Coast from April 2009 to April 2010 in support of the BC Lions Society’s Easter Seal Services and the Canucks for Kids Fund.

V.c » It seems to me that I heard more people denigrating the orcas and bears than praising them, but I really liked them. Obviously some were more aesthetically appealing than others, but in the urban environment the more are the merrier. However, as a canvas the eagle seems to me to be the weakest of the three especially the way it is positioned. I wish it could be at more of a soaring angle that would enhance the sculpture, even though that might detract from the viewing of the paintings.

Note: Keep your eye out for the Sedins with beagles commercial advertising this project. (Seems that it is yet to be uploaded to YouTube.)
