Maureen, very nice presentation of this white bird arranging feathers as they do. The softness of your pastel work adds so much to this mundane task. Love your work on black . Ray

    Thank you for your lovely review and keep going with your pastels. It does take time to get certain looks, but it?s worth the time.

    thanks for the encouragement

Your use of color is so skillful and nuanced - you've captured the way that light falls on various objects, and how colours seem to come alive after that. Lovely nature pastel painting. Well done. Wish I had a six to award.

A beautiful work of art using pastels, pleasing to the eye, and soft in rendition. You have captured the elegance of this egret very well. The detail of the bird and background is done well.

This is another beauty in soft pastel. Although I like other outstanding views and work and background like soft velvet, this one is creative also. The complete work may not be quite as smooth in perfection, but it is really good too. Thanks for sharing.

    Most welcome, friend. He looks relaxed, like not a care in the world as he prunes.

Beautiful artwork Maureen with the graceful white bird as he is nested in the lush vegetation along the stream of flowing water.
Great arrangement within the frame and focus on the main subject. Great composition !

A good looking nature image presented here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful bird and its location. Textures, colours and tones are good. Well drawn!
