The Beguiling Heron


The Beguiling Heron

The Great Blue Heron stands and fishes in Mink Cove, the salt marsh that runs behind my house.  The water depth changes constantly with the tides.  This was a high tide on a summer day when the grasses were at their greenest.  One of the challenges of this painting was to create a sense of depth without an horizon line.  I may need to emphasize the diagonal movement of the water more.  Hmmmm.  The title comes from a friend who, when seeing the painting, remarked, "I'm beguiled by the heron".
