Around The Bend

An abandoned Spanish-style home, still whispering its stories

A white egret glides gracefully across the water, its wings catching the light as it rounds the bend to join its mate. The calm water and lush greens of the wetlands frame the pair in a quiet, intimate moment.

The Story Behind the Canvas

I painted this scene after visiting the Viera Wetlands, where I watched these two egrets — one fishing patiently, the other returning through the air to its mate’s side. There was something tender and serene about their connection that stayed with me and inspired this piece.
