It was totally worth the drive through snow and ice to get to this beach and paint!! Oh sweet Florida!! That white bird to the right, behind my easel, was my constant companion this afternoon. This beautiful Great Egret is in his greening, which is represented by a green patch above his eyes, signifying breeding season. He walked right up to me and was very inquisitive about my gear. When I talked to him, he came closer. I was just ready to take a selfie with him over my shoulder when my Mom called! He stepped away a bit and the chance was lost. He waded along the coast and fished for his dinner while I painted another two from this spot. There is nothing as therapeutic as the beach for my soul! Painting number 5103 in 5103 days.
