Great Blue Heron — Gallery Canvas Art Prints all built up in layeredA Great Blue Heron lifts from a marsh wings spreading wide, neck curved, feet just leaving the water among the cattails and lily pads. This 1993 watercolour catches the heron in the most difficult moment: the transition from stillness to flight, the body not yet airborne, the wings not yet at full stroke. Glen solved it with loose, luminous watercolour washes for the atmospheric background and tighter, more deliberate brushwork for the bird itself.
