Snowy Egret in Surf 30 x 30 oil


You must think I paint nothing but Egrets in the surf.... Here's another painting of the snowy Egret I chased in Naples. I just can't resist that combination of birds and sparkles! That really was a wonderful day at the seaside

Wow, Beautiful combination of backlighting and reflected light on the egret's body. And that background sparkle is phenomenal. The balance of values is just right. Very nice.

Stunning painting Matthew! Love the composition - the water and bird both masterfully excecuted.

Oh dear!I'm in danger of growing an enormous head( Julia says I already have one).
Thank you all for the praise. It's just great to get such a positive feedback. Especially from such phenomenal artists!
