new Little Egret drawing

here is the start of another Egret drawing.this one is very much along the lines of my award winning 'egret pool' drawing focussing on the autumn sunshine and the resultant shadows and reflections cast.The reference photo's and sketchs i'm using to create these egret images are taken by me on the saltmarsh and estuary of the river hamble which is only a five minute stroll from my home and is one of my favourite birdwatching spots.Next week my first wholly bird art show gets underway at the Titchfield Haven NNR which i'm really looking forward to,especially hearing what the hordes of birders who regularly descend on the reserve think of my works,as it's there expert opinions that i really value.
