Here is the Heron all finished! It was a little challenging for me to make such a dark painting- hopefully it's not too dark. I just love Great Blue Herons. They nest around Steamboat in the spring. I always feel extremely lucky when I see one flying, fishing in the river, or sitting on a nest high up in a cottonwood tree.
This week's Illustration Friday topic is Tree and I had a great time carving this tree! You can see what it looked like on the block in the blog post below.
I do like your heron,Jill.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect and not too dark at all- has a little bit of an Oriental feel to it- love it!

ReplyDeleteReally beautiful Jill. I miss seeing your work all the time.
ReplyDeleteThank you, nice ladies!
ReplyDeleteI too love Great Blue Herons. I've tried sneaking up on them for a good picture. Not an easy task. I love all the shades of blue in your piece and the wonderful style of it!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautifully, Jill! I love the colors of the water. And the textures and details on the bird and the tree are fantastic!
