Great Blue Heron…

What a beautiful rendition of this classical pose!

You surely have been treated to sightings of these large blue-grey wading birds with the black stripe over the eye. They are the largest heron in North America with a wing span of about 6 feet or more and are found in south Florida year round.
Enjoy painting with Suzanne who has a reputation for making it easy. This project uses a rake brush to create the look of feathers.
