A few of the paintings I've done outside of specific projects like Social Portraits.
I spotted a Great Blue Heron between the reeds at Beaver Pond. There was a light breeze and the water looked emerald green reflecting the lush green trees and reeds. The back lighting and reflections created this natural halo around the Heron, how could I resist, I snapped a photo and got to the studio.
