A white egret turns its head above a cascade of softly rendered feathers, its golden eye and yellow bill bright against the charcoal background. Silver, cream, and muted gold details give the portrait a quiet sense of movement and poise. Its composed presence would bring a refined touch to a living room, study, or reading nook.
I’m a Kentucky/Florida based artist drawn to the quiet power of wildlife. I use careful detail and rich contrast to bring each subject’s character into focus, as in my portrait of an eagle’s watchful gaze.
