I started this painting at the demo for my show last weekend. It's my first attempt at a heron. It was really fun to do- came together pretty easily. Nice when that happens.
Now I want to do more bird paintings. First nice day, I'm going to head out to the Reifel Bird Sanctuary with my camera.
This painting is slated for the big Painters at Painters event at Campbell River in late May.
This is gorgeous Janice! Can't wait to see it at Painters! (I'm in Bath .. just saw the Bath Painting SOciety's Summer SHow .. inspiring! Have seen so much exciting art in the UK)
I have been a full time artist for over 30 years. I live in a small village outside Vancouver with my husband Alan, who is also an artist. I love to paint and I love to teach people how to paint. When I'm not painting, my favorite thing to do is spend time outdoors with my dog, Havoc.
Very beautiful, with the entire composition working together with color and light! not easy!
