Oil on panel, 6x6
Deep Creek is a quiet area near Port Charlotte, Florida. This heron was standing still at the edge of the water when I started the painting. When I see a bird that I want to paint, I do a quick sketch in my notebook, in case it decides to fly away before I have finished painting it. Then I use the sketch and my memory as my reference. This was painted on a cloudy day. The reflections of the trees in the water were soft and muted. This is the type of off-the-beaten path scene that makes Florida unique.
