I am back after a considerably long absence. Missed you all!This is a watercolor on a postcard , the heron captured in soft sunlight of mid-morning.
I have been reading a lot about the oil spill in Gulf of Mexico. I have always hated man's interference with nature and this is a glaring example of what this could result into!
I am adding this painting to Suzanne McDermot's spirit-of-gulf-challenge. as suggested by some blogger friends.
So beautiful, Arti! I am awed by how perfectly you've captured the morning light around his head.
ReplyDeleteSelecting only the head as the subject makes it special! I love the light and also the blue/crimson mix for the background.. btw missed you much :-)
ReplyDeleteI did not know what a Heron is and I still dont know. :) I want to see the ful length painting.
ReplyDeleteI just love the way you have done the eye and the textures on the body of the bird.
Welcome back Arti! Beautiful work. Herons are also here in Italy, they are beautiful animals, I often see them in rice fields.

Arti - it's lovely! Nice job portraying the morning light shining on him.
ReplyDeleteI missed you too Arti! I love this heron, very well done. He really has such expression. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Arti, Some artists are doing work to raise funds for the oil spill after effects. You should check into it. They have their art on zazzle.com. Carol Carter, Paul Jackson and a bunch of others. Your Heron would fit into the cause. Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bird, I love how elegant you made him look
ReplyDeleteLovely colors in this one, Arti!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colours and what a beautiful bird! Maybe you should dedicate this painting to Susanne McDermott's Gulf painting challenge!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Arti. Really well done this heron, I like the colors of the head end of the eye. Ciao!
