Great Egret of Assateague Island

Today I will be adding my oil paintings to this blog which has previously been for watercolor paintings only. This painting was inspired by a trip to Assateague Island National Park. This beautiful creature just blew me away. He was perched in an ugly, leafless tree and the contrast of this gorgeous bird and the stark bark of the tree was stunning. I will undoubtedly paint him (maybe her?) again. 8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel.
