Heron in the Rain




A mixed media work on canvas. 24 x 12
Heron in the Rain  I had wanted to paint a heron for some time, but kept putting it off.  Then one day I met him .  He was just standing on the side of the road staring in the car at me and I knew it was time.  It was a typical misty moisty rainy day and the heron was standing in the runoff water puddle on the side of the road while the rain continued to pour down from above.  His expression seemed a bit grumpy.  I wanted to take him  home and dry him off.  But I’m sure he had other ideas.

The  Heron has flown to a beautiful home.
