I decided to paint some white egrets flying over the marsh in northern Michigan, since these birds are beautiful and have begun showing up in a small town I was staying at in recent years. First, the painting, then the photos I took (I also used several others out of the dozens I took for reference). I also took some field notes of the colors to help jog my memory. I did use some artistic license to make a better painting.
Here are the photos I took while in Michigan:
Absolutely magnificent painting!!! 😍
I love so much your fabulous paintings, I’m totally fascinated!!! 😊
Beautiful!
I remember, many years ago, seeing egrets in southern Florida and being told I was lucky to see them. Now they are roaming the beach where I live north of Liverpool – things have changed.
I know; as they have lost habitat over the years, it seems they are starting to nest and live closer to populated areas.
