Original artwork description:

This Acrylic Painting was done just after sunrise over two early morning sessions in Sun Moon Lake, Nantou, Taiwan. I love how quiet and still the lake is in the early morning before all the boat traffic begins. These two mornings were bright and a little cloudy leading to the milky colour of the sky. I always enjoy drawing and painting the reflections of the fishing platforms and trees on the lake. It is a fun challenge to capture the ever changing and moving colours in the water. Another element I added into this picture was the white bird which I saw flying low over the lake each morning. This was always very peaceful and majestic sight to see the beautiful creature and its reflection on the water. At first I thought it was a kind of stork but it turns out is a little Egret. As I was painting, my nephew was drawing next to me and I asked him to tell me whenever he saw the bird so I could see it and try to capture it in paint, this is more tricky than it sounds! But with his help I managed to see it enough times to paint it! This painting was done on 300gsm Watercolour Paper as I like to build up and overlay thin layers of paint and thicker higher quality paper is necessary for this.
