Description
I often see egrets where I live, near the water in Florida. Even when stalking their prey, I sense the birds are aware of me; they are stiff and poised to move away or take flight at any moment. So I was pleased to come upon this beautiful bird performing its grooming ritual in an unselfconscious and relaxed way. The crystal clarity of the spring-fed river allowed me to create silvery, mirrorlike reflections. The fact that the bird's head is under its wing, obscuring its iconic silhouette, causes the viewer to focus on the water, where the head is reflected. As the bird performs its morning grooming ritual, we are the ones who watch in the mirror! This painting was in 2015 "Birds in Art" International Exhibit, Travel Exhibit, and is in the permanent collection of the Woodson Museum of Art, Wausau WI.
