"Amica"
2017 - Oil on 14x14 Canvas - Privately Owned
Amica, meaning friend in Latin, was inspired by this beautiful egret who inhabits the small ponds scattered about where my home is. Piercingly white and very alert. It will let me sit and watch it for just a few moments before taking flight to find more tranquil and solitary waters. Captivated by it's beauty I composed this piece, a rare but possible encounter between human and bird. It proved to be a really welcomed change of pace. No reference photos or models were used in this so I was able to portray the female form from my own eyes. From the egret, sky, and grass, it was all from my heart.
