Enchanted April - Great Egret and Jacaranda Blossoms by artist Matthew Hillier

Enchanted April by artist Matthew Hillier available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

In Enchanted April, Hillier wanted to capture, with paint, the feel of balmy tropical breezes. To convey the impression of light and warmth, he painted the richly colored flowering branches filtering the dappled sunlight. The elegant white breeding plumes of the great egret, swaying in the wind, serve to create a sense of movement.

"In April, when the breeze scatters the vibrant orchid-colored petals of the jacaranda blossoms, they litter the ground like nature's confetti in celebration of spring." - Matthew Hillier.
