Blue Heron Taking Flight Watercolor – 8×10 140 lb Saunders Cold Press
Blue Heron Taking Flight in Watercolor.
It’s been a busy week and weekend, but I found a little time Sunday evening to do a some painting.
I saw a photo my blogging friend Jenna took and posted on The Painted Apron that really drew me in. I mentioned to Jenna the photo looked like a “painting in waiting.”
Jenna doesn’t prefer to paint birds or people. (She says she can’t, but I’m sure that’s not true! She is a very gifted artist!) She told me she would love for me to paint him. So here he is Jenna. I could probably do a bit better with another try, but no time left this weekend. That’s okay… I’m still an artist taking flight, and I’m going to reach for that soar!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

It’s just perfect, Jodi! I love birds of all kinds. We had a Great Blue Heron at my old office on the river that hung out in a tall pine tree outside my office window. His nickname was Mr. Gangly. 😀
