Egret Over the Ashepoo

I'm getting ready for the Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston, South Carolina in a few weeks.
I like to bring thirty to thirty-five original oils with me...so hoping I'll meet my goal this year.  I have been painting 7"x7" landscape studies for the past few years.  I've enjoyed painting them and decided to take the plunge and try the same idea in a larger piece.  This is a 20" x 20" oil on linen, based on a small study I did last year.  The photo is a little too dark - the egret have pure white highlights on them that I don't see here - but you get the idea.

    Gorgeous work. The Egrets really "pop" with the muted dark background!

    Love it! The color variations without a lot of value change are really subtle and nice.

    Thanks! It's getting easier to paint these larger landscapes. I've turped out more than I've saved.
