Big Blue's Morning Flight

Big Blue's Morning Flight, 

Back of our neighbors' property there is a pond. A great blue heron often fishes there and, when I pass on regular walks, he lifts off.

I love to watch him rise, heavy and majestic, the light catching his blue tones. I call him "Big Blue" and this is the second painting he inspires.

Loved painting this scene, a composite from a photo of a blue heron and another of a Louisiana swamp with the colors of a  southern sunrise. 

With its inviting atmosphere and large presence, "Big Blue's Morning Flight" is certain to be a focal point in any room wherever displayed. The painting sports the complementary palette of orange/gold hues and blues, so attractive to the eye and soothing to the soul with its ying-yang of warm v cool. 

As previously stated, the painting was executed on a large 30"x40" canvas, well braced in back for strength and with a 1.5" profile painted to match the scene. The painting is ready to hang or can be framed as wished. 

I always try to photograph as closely as possible to the original but there may be slight variances.
