I titled this one "SHOWTIME", as egrets do get dressed up for the breeding season. When an egret is in breeding plumage, (both male and female), it has long lacy and delicate plumes on its back that curl over its tail. During that time, a patch of skin on its face, by its eye, turns neon green, and long plumes grow from its back. The background is a woven acrylic which is then mounted to a wood panel and the surface is painted with the Egret.
