Artwork Description

While photographing the Great Egrets at the Tamar Wetlands in Tasmania this one really caught my eye. I noticed that it was no longer in it's prime, somewhat bony and underweight. Also there was a look of resignation about it as if it knew that this might be it's last summer. A perfect subject for a painting.
