“Egret Evasion” 16 by 20 inches, acrylic on canvas: a hand painted great egret stands in elegant poise of balance at sea. This coastal bird appears to be walking on water over a split screen (over under) kelp forest, where we can see under water how thick and the dark bull kelp is.

A luminous hand-painted egret is poised in quiet grace, its form softened by light and atmosphere. While the wetland bird has a meditative stillness its “S” shaped neck acts like a hunter’s coiled spring, released in a flash. The bird’s timeless elegance is perfect for collectors drawn to serene, nature-inspired luxury.
