Egret in Rio

A white egret with a yellow beak stands gracefully among a lush lily pond, surrounded by vibrant magenta water lilies in full bloom and deep green lily pads floating on teal-blue water. The composition is vertically centered with the egret's long neck curving upward against a rich, dark green and blue background. The color palette is bold and saturated — deep teals, vivid crimsons, bright greens, and stark white — rendered in an expressive acrylic style with visible brushwork. The scene feels lively and tropical, with multiple floral elements at varying stages of bloom adding visual complexity suitable for intermediate painters.
