Stranger in the Night

I see this guy nearly every night at the lake (when it isn't frozen). Haven't had a formal introduction, but I feel like I know him. He is not particularly friendly, he stands in the shallow water, and never looks my way or makes a move as I drive by. He is a familiar stanger in the night, but still a stranger. I've never seen him in the light of day, so I painted him pretty much as I have seen him.

About Me

I am Betty Moore, a self taught watercolor artist living in Southern Illinois. I enjoy painting birds...seagulls, egrets, pelicans and other water and wading birds. The lake in my back yard is my endless muse. I enjoy painting fresh vegetables and fruits and other kitchen art as well. I grew up in a time when the kitchen was truly the heart of the home, making this subject dear to me. While I am a fairly new watercolor artist I paint prolifically, if the sun comes up I am probably painting. I use quality artist grade watercolor paper and paints. Prints of my work are Giclee quality. My work is in private collections, with a great sense of pride connected to each piece.
