“White Egret 1, 2, and 3”
4x6" watercolors

There must be an anology between the subject matter an artist paints and the way that artist lives his or her life. Mine has definitely lacked planning. I said yes to trips when I should have said no, I quit jobs when I could no longer tolerate the politics, and I married a man knowing he had cancer. Overall, I went for the gusto and for the moment. Last weekend, out exploring places (not animals) to paint, I stumbled upon a magnificent white egret. I always feel the bird is posing for me, and that I only have so much time to capture it. So, voila! Three more birds to add to my collection of very calligraphic bird paintings.
