I keep coming back to the bird paintings. During the April shutdown, the Venice Rookery was still open. It wasn't crowded, and I enjoyed sketching the nesting birds from life and taking some photos. I also did a little plein air painting during the sunset. This painting of a great white egret has a lot of vibrant color, and I showed how the light touches her feathers. Gouache and watercolors allow me to paint quickly and keep it loose. The paints dry fast, and I can work in a few layers to enhance the effects of shimmering color and light.
