Angel Feathers (SOLD)
(2010)
Subject: Snowy egret (Egretta thula)- avian painting Dimensions (inches): 14 x 10 Medium: pastel on archival paper Description: It was nesting season when I first studied and photographed this displaying male egret and other wading birds in northern Florida. I was told that these birds, along with tricolored herons, spoonbills and storks chose to nest above water as the alligators below provided a degree of protection from predators such as raccoons and possums. The only downfall was that any unfortunate bird, usually a chick, that happened to fall out of the tree or nest was a sure meal for those hungry trap jaws below.
