Original oil painting Blue Heron bird by Karen Tarlton
10x20
Blue Heron
A Blue Heron stands staunch into the wind.
The golden eye,
fierce and protective, is focused on the far reaches of its watery
domain. Gusts of wind tear at its orderly array of blue-gray feathers
so that the plumes are tossed about. Blue-gray wings , folded tight, are edged
with contrasting white and dashes of rust feathers.
The overall texture and
presence of this majestic bird is that of a powerful, self-reliant
Seminole Indian Chief in his prime - seeming to channel the spirit of the everglades.
In Native American lore the Heron embodies wisdom and patience.
Inspired by a collector of mine
and he won't be the last one I paint!
