Eddie the Egret


Carla and I went to Will Rogers Park a few months ago and took some photos. This egret was standing by the water and not moving so he was an easy subject to photograph. There were several turtles swimming in the water but I didn't include them in my painting.
This was painted on a recycled canvas board. I have many unsuccessful paintings since I'm a beginner and I hate to throw them away so I'm recycling by painting over them. A lady on the Oil Painters Yahoo list suggested painting over them with an earth tone color so I tried it and it worked!
