Crested Serpent Eagle



Crested Serpent Eagle
Gouache & Collage on Antique Postcard
3.5 x 5.5 inches

Price: SOLD

The Crested Serpent Eagle is found throughout the forests and woodlands of southeast Asia, Indonesia, and from India to South China. This beautiful reddish-brown bird lays a single egg in a relatively small nest for an eagle. The nest is built solely of sticks and can be found in wooded areas. I painted this in watercolor and gouache on an antique postcard. I then collaged with antique ephemera including, stamps from India, letter from India, and floral wallpaper.
