"Egret Island"
16" x 20"
Oil on wrapped canvas

I wakened to this view across Reservoir Pond, having arrived after dark the night before. An egret lifted off over the white water lilies, and landed only feet away in the yellow ones. July in Wisconsin.

The diagonal water and the ragged and broken shoreline intrigued me. It was a sliver of an island, so the sky shone behind even the low boughs of pine. 

This painting is listed with, and for sale through a Dailypaintworks auction.

Thank you for visiting today,
