Oil Painting – “Sweet Springs Nature Preserve, Los Osos, CA”

During this plein air outing, I was with my artist friend, Bridget Duffy.  It was August, so there was plenty of yellowed grass everywhere in the Central California Coast, but the area around the creek had plenty of water, which turned it a lush green.  In the distance is Morro Rock. In the middle-ground you see a Snowy Egret, which I think may be my favorite bird, because of its long, slim, elegant look and its intriguing movements.
