In Nurture from the Heights, Merrill Coffin masterfully captures a tender moment in the life of a majestic eagle family. The painting features an eagle feeding its young, nestled safely in a large, intricate nest made of pine sticks and hay. The foreground highlights the care and protection of the parent, while a barren pine tree rises in the background, symbolizing the harsh yet beautiful environment in which they thrive. The light blue sky, with wisps of clouds, adds depth, hinting at the elevation of the nest high above the world below. This intimate and serene scene is a testament to both the strength and vulnerability of nature, encapsulated in Coffin’s artistic vision. Currently, this painting resides in a private collection.
