Great White Hunter
About this artwork
Who knew that Snowy Egrets at the beach hunted beetles? says artist Emil Morhardt. This one was stealthily sneaking up on something, then grabbing it and starting over, but it was sure hard to see what at the time.Ó Finally, under intense magnification, Emil's photography revealed beetles. I painted the insect in the picture a little larger than what the Egret was hunting, so at least there would be some evidence for the extreme posture.
