I found a painting on facebook that I really liked. Not so much for the shoes, but for the way it showed shiny black. I tried to copy his work. The piece was not signed. So here is my version.
I painted a canvas with copper paint and then this egret. I have never painted on such a flat monochrome surface. It made the bird easy to do. I do like this bird.
This is the Wright Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. This is where the Wright brothers first flew their little homemade airplane. I always took issue with our fascist looking concrete jello mold on the dune. It never really captured the spirit of flight for me. Just sayin'.
