Preening Egret



Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size : 16" X 12"
I love birds and this is one of my favorite bird portrait. Initially I was wondering if the red and black background will work but after completing I was completely satisfied. As I decided to do this painting in one go I had to do the background in acrylic as it dries faster. To make the composition more interesting i used a little of pink and purple above and behind the beak for shadow.
