| 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".
