Be sure to make Mill Creek Metro Park’s Weller Gallery at Fellows Riverside Gardens your next road trip to see Beth Basista’s 50+ paintings in oils, acrylics, watercolors and mixed media. You’ll see 30 scenes throughout beautiful Mill Creek Park, plus animals, birds, beaches, still lifes, and more – even shell art! With Christmas just around the corner consider buying a painting for that special person on your list - especially those who are hard to buy for! Oh and plan to tour the beautiful gardens, and hike the many trails throughout the park.
Egret in the Shallows - Mixed Media Painting
I created this 16x20 mixed media painting using acrylics to lay in the foundation and oils to add the final touches to the Egret. I liked how oils made it easier to push & blend colors into each other to achieve the softness I desired. I referenced photos I shot of this egret hanging around fisherman in inlet to Bunge Beach, Ft. Myers, Florida. #Egretpainting #Floridabird
