This image started out with completely different colors, but as I worked on it, it became an egret fishing at night with silent brackish water swirling around him.
Often when I’m working on an art piece, I feel the sensations of the image as if I were there. That happened here---the smell of the salt water, the barely perceptible swish of the egret’s legs moving through the water, the nighttime sounds of an estuary.
I’m still completely enamored with the Japanese art print style of
the Edo Period (1600’s-1800’s more or less). I still very much like a strong, non-literal design style that is quite graphic, plus I looooove decorative elements. That means doing things like turning water into a decorative pattern like you see here. Instead of literal stars in a moonlight sky, I have a vertical panel with star-like icons in a floating pattern to suggest stars in a decorative way. It’s just the way I roll, design-wise.
Beneath the image on the print, I’ve added my own hand-embossed chop of my bird logo. Something about the detail and surprise of an embossed logo like that just makes me happy.
Moonlight Egret is an open edition giclée, which is a very high quality digital print done with archival inks on archival paper. Very similar in quaiity to my serigraphs. If you are interested in this print, let me know!
