Flamingos

The zoo is a wonderful place to get reference material for wildlife of all kinds. These flamingos are at the Houston Zoo. I like to go there at different times of the year. The habitat changes and so do the animals for the coming seasons. I really liked these flamingos with their contrasting colors of the background and reflecting light from the water.

White Pelicans

                                                       White Pelicans

   Pelicans look like they can be an awkward and clumsy bird.  In flight pelicans are some of the most graceful of birds.

   My husband and I were in Rockport, Tx. not too long ago.  Some fisherman was cleaning their catch of the day and the seagulls were diving into the water for their catch of the day.  Not far away from this entire seagull action was these white pelicans.  I took several photos of the activity going on.  In this painting I liked the way the pelicans are back lit.  Even though it was a very warm day, the shadows of the pelicans in the water appeared cool.

   This little painting is 5x7 on 300 lb. watercolor paper.  You may purchase this painting for $75.00.  Thank you for viewing my art.

Great Egret by Texas Artist Ann Hoffpauir

Great Egret

 The Great Egret is a showy bird.  The white feathers of an egret make excellent subjects to paint.  They seem to pick up color from their surroundings and at other times they just have very subtle color change.

  In this painting I chose a lone egret in the evening light, maybe it’s his last feeding before the end of the day.

  This is a watercolor on 300 lb. paper.  It is size 7x5.  You may purchase it for $75.00.

Thank you for viewing my art.
