A Quiet Drama

A Quiet Drama is a serene panoramic oil painting of a white egret by a river among trees and blossom and wildflowers. It is 60x30x1.5 inches. The painting style is unique but could be described as semi-abstract style painterly art nouveau. The egret is stretching her wings over the river behind wild garlic and blossom trees and the hint of other riverside flowers. There are trees and fields beyond her but the egret is enclosed in the shade of a quiet river bank just doing what she does. This painting was inspired by my regular walks along parts of the river Medway and celebrates the occasional sighting of a white egret. It is always a pleasure to find these birds as they are so ethereal, white and elegant. I have used the colours of an English springtime (white, pinks, greens, blues and turquoise) to give this painting an ephemeral feeling as May does not last long enough in my opinion! The painting is dedicated to those people helping to get our rivers cleaned up so that wildlife can thrive in them. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed and ready to hang
