What has been a very slow progress towards completion, the egret has finally been blocked - in

One day recently in taking photos for future painting projects, in an instant I had noticed a photo op .Ever since, one of those pictures captured started an obsession with painting and completing it, to the exclusion of all other simultaneous unfinished pieces. Here is where I am with it now

Prepped and ready for the Egret

The Marsh Painting,16 x 20 on canvas

More layers and new work on foreground.
Additional layers to follow and decision as to whether or not  to include the egret in this painting, or just start another painting ,
as the storm in this piece has taken over as the focal point.
The decision was made to go forward  with Egret .
