Back to Louisiana

Did a little "Louisiana" painting tonight...a snowy egret, and a
shrimp boat.  I usually sell these down south at the Louisiana
Marketplace.  It's time to take a few more down there.

I took the photos in south Louisiana awhile back.  I went hunting
the boats...found some around Houma and Bayou Teche.   I still
have a few more photos I like...will try to do them soon.   I have LOTS of
egret photos...I take them all the time.  This one is the smaller
snowy egret...he's a little  fluffier.

Blue Pelicans

Still in progress here...I did some "lifting"....you can re-wet some dark
areas with a brush, scrubbing slightly, and the pigment will loosen
and can be dabbed up with a paper towel.

Here's a close up of some of the lifted areas.

I still thought it needed something, so I added some pen and ink lines
and flourishes.  I may still add some colored pencil strokes too.  I like the
colors in contrast with the white birds.  I thought the complimentary
scheme of purples and yellows would be different.
It's just a fun piece...another Louisiana subject.  It will be for sale
in the gallery, or I can ship!
