#2205 - Heron

Acrylic, 19"x19", on 1-5/8" deep gallery wrapped canvas
Of all the waterfowls and shorebirds I encountered on my many kayaking trips to Jordan Lake, the great blue herons are the most common. They are active in the coves, feeding on small fish that are abundant in the lake.
This painting is about light and shade, with only limited colors used.
