“Turquoise Trail” 40×32″ Oil painting by Rich BrimerI sought to capture the ethereal beauty and grace of a great white egret in flight. This painting depicts the egret’s wings bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun, casting a mesmerizing blend of pink and orange tones that create a striking contrast emphasizing its elegant form against the turquoise water.

As the egret soars across the water, it symbolizes a journey toward new horizons, mirroring our own journeys of self-discovery and transformation. “Turquoise Trail” is not just a depiction of a bird in flight, but a reflection of the fleeting moments of awe and wonder that surrounds us, reminding us to appreciate the simple joys of life and the beauty of our natural world.

This painting was accepted into the California Art Club’s 113th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition
