HERON HARMONY IN RED

$1,100.

The heron makes a statement.  It speaks of patience and stillness, along with grace and balance.  This sets a perfect tone for any home seeking to be a refuge from the storms of life; a beautiful sanctuary.

This original painting will invite conversations with everyone who sees it. Share your knowledge about this long legged wading bird: 
- Herons use a “stand-and-wait” hunting style: remain motionless then spear fish, amphibians, insects, or small mammals with a rapid thrust of their bill.
- Great blue herons can stand over 4 ft tall; the goliath heron is the largest, up to about 5 ft tall.
- Plumage varies: breeding adults often develop ornate plumes and colorful bare patches used in courtship.
- Fossil herons date back tens of millions of years; their basic form has remained relatively unchanged.

About the work by Jody Mae Wright:
Size: 16"w x 20"t.  Acrylic on board.

Perfect for you to have framed to your taste after purchase.
Technique: Jody combines her signature color abstract background with an almost impressionistic manner of depicting the heron itself.  She uses a palette knife for fresh movement and a sense of "aliveness" that conveys the creature in its environment.
