Bad Attitude

An abandoned Spanish-style home, still whispering its stories

Poised, powerful, and unapologetically striking — this white egret pauses mid-motion, drying its wings and casting a sharp, knowing glance. The elegant curve of its neck and the intricate layers of its feathers reveal a surprising palette of blues and soft grays, shimmering against a dramatic backdrop.

The Story Behind the Canvas

I loved capturing this beautiful bird, particularly the subtle shades of blue that emerged within its feathers as I painted. Its intense gaze and confident stance gave it a bit of an edge — the kind of personality that inspired my husband to name it Bad Attitude.

This piece invites you to meet the egret’s fiery spirit and quiet grace all at once — a reminder of the wild beauty and character that lives in nature.”
