I find the coloration, stature, self-imposed isolation, and grace of flight of the Great Blue Heron infinitely fascinating. I never tire of photographing or painting these gorgeous birds.
This particular regal, watchful heron, painted almost life size, took Best of Show at the Gainesville Fine Arts Festival at Oak Hall School in May 2007, just days after I completed it.
