Again, part of the 7 x 10 Rough series of bird paintings for 2019...
The great blue heron is a beautiful bird, often showing blue-grey and violet, sometimes just a dull grey color. This one (from a photo taken during my recent Anna Maria Island trip) was in the evening and he looks very blue. He (or she?) was fishing for little things beside a running stream inside Perrico Preserve.
I know herons and egrets are found in the Ohio River Valley area, but I've rarely seen great blue herons around here.

you see them once and while here if you pay attention around rivers, bigger than I thought they were.
nice blue feathers on this :)
Bonjour,
Bravo pour cette jolie aquarelle. Quel beau spécimen !
Gros bisous 🌸
This is really special! Simple and elegant. Nicely done!
Ah Rhonda - so lovely. I so enjoy seeing a Heron. Have a good day.
Thanks so much, Jennifer Rose and Alice Jo :). Merci beaucoup, Martine :). I loved viewing your photos of Lyon and will return again to you blog.
I can watch them fishing for ages - they always look so patient standing there that sometimes I wonder if they have dozed off. I really like the colour combination it gives a real sense of the coolness and shadows of a river bank.
