Fly Like An Eagle

I was commissioned to do a stippling of a bald eagle for someone.

There's really not too much to say about it besides the significance that an eagle has for me. When I was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy my parents sought comfort in a number of ways. My mother often found comfort in scripture. She came across a scripture that I have adopted as my scripture. It's Isaiah 40:29-31, which says:

⁹ 

He gives strength to the weary 

    and increases the power of the weak.

³⁰ 

Even youths grow tired and weary,

    and young men stumble and fall; 

³¹ 

but those who hope in the Lord

    will renew their strength. 

They will soar on wings like eagles; 

    they will run and not grow weary,

    they will walk and not be faint
