ABOUT THIS PAINTING
I got the inspiration to paint this pair while on one of my many visits to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. I find peace when I can surround myself with wildlife and nature. At that particular time there was an abundance of other species I was familiar with, with the exception of this pair. I never relized how beautiful this bird was until I began my study. I am not sure if it is their smaller size, or just the time of year, but the female had a very delicate presence, and there was a softness in her face. All the while, the male had a prominent presence sporting his vibrant breeding plumage, while he very attentively watched over her, making sure he was always by her side. To me the two were very apparent, a “prince charming and an elegant princess”.
