An original oil painting on hand-gessoed hardboard;
professionally framed; wide 2" antiqued gold frame; ready to hang.
In the shallow waters close to shore, these egrets find it attractive to feed in the lilies and quiet waters; as the hot afternoon wanes on. Lazy winding rivers in the Florida marshlands are a familiar backcountry scene, complete with tropical palms ascending gracefully above dense hammocks.
This region of coastal Florida has attracted artists forever... and is home to many artist groups and communities. The area is a wildlife artist’s dream: to paint in secluded exotic and pristine ecosystems teeming with tropical flora and fauna... and is my new challenge for a series of larger studio paintings… as we are just upriver from where the famous Florida Highwaymen lived and painted in a style sometimes referred to as the Indian River School.

Lovely birds.
Thank you Susan... even a puddle of water will attract these beautiful egrets, ibises, herons, storks - and they let you come within a few feet as they are so commonly used to humans. Yes, majestic, you might say.
