You all know how I enjoy the birds we have here in Florida and the Grey Heron is one of my favorites. Previously I shared an oil painting on wood, but this is a 9x12 Fabre-Castelle colored pencil on 184 lb Strathmore paper. I’m working on the same picture but on an oil canvas . . . we’ll see which one I like the best.

Thanks Denise. I’m going to be posting the oil version of the same painting. Still have some details to finish. Appreciate your comments.

I love your work. So detailed it looks like you could reach out and touch it, but if I do, it would fly away. I’ll just look at it.
