Patient Fisherman-Egret

 Close ups

Acrylic on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Donna did the the honors of hosting this week and provided a bunch of super photos!

 I had to try this egret. They are such patient fishermen (as noted in the title).

This is acrylic on a 7x5 Gesso Art Board. It has a very slick non absorbent surface. I wanted to use some wet and wild techniques I had been mulling over. But much of my plans fell through. I like a few parts, though. All part of the learning process.

 C&C welcome. Thank you for commenting!

Pelicans...A Different Light

Close Ups

Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.

For the beach scene posted yesterday, I used dark saturated color in contrast with a few intense lights. So I tried the same approach here. I think I like it...at least at the present time.
This is oil on a 5x7 gessoed hardboard. I first primed the support with black gesso...it makes the color zing right from the first stroke.
The blues aren't quite so overwhelming IRL. They refused to adjust properly.

This painting was done for the WDE at Wet Canvas. The images were graciously supplied by Valri.
