STALKING EGRET,6x8, OIL, SOLD


I think waterbirds are so interesting to watch. Here in Florida we have such a large variety of them. I would not attempt to name them all, but I'm pretty sure this is an egret, maybe even a Snowy Egret. I think they are one of the prettier birds around and when they have their plumes up they are almost as showy as a peacock.
I enjoyed painting this little piece, especially layering on the thick creamy paint on his back. Almost as good as eating ice cream!

We spent a few days on Sanibel recently.  It is such a lovely experience, like living in the middle of a nature preserve.

I ran into this guy on an early morning walk.  He was under the causeway and all business.


It was only a matter of minutes before he had his breakfast.


It must have been a favorite fishing spot in the area, because he was surrounded by lazy pelicans (they were watching, not working) and several fishermen in boats.  None of this seem to bother him.
