I have chosen this reference photo for three reasons: 1. the light, 2. the challenge of painting white tones and 3. I hope the portrait artists among us will be encouraged to accept the challenge. Please post on Sunday evening 10 May (local time). Enjoy! Colleen

  2. Ree,
    I think the accolades should go to David (my husband). He is the photographer. I'll pass them on.

    It is a White Egret - here, popularly called a White Heron.

  6. I haven't done this one yet Bruce? I am looking forward to it though. I love painting white things.

    Remember Bruce, when you painted the snow plough picture, I suggested you add colour to your snow, same thing applies here.

    White is not white and grey folks.. :-D

    Colleen your post is erased.
