Snowy Egret Pastel Painting

'Glorious' 8x10 pastel
I was lucky to see this gorgeous Snowy Egret in all his glory. The way he was backlit in the dark swampy area where I saw him was almost unreal...he was just so beautiful! You could see why their feathers were coveted for ladies hats. This painting is done on LaCarte pastel paper with mostly Great American pastels.
