Throughout my days, I see so many photos that inspire me to paint. The reference photo for this painting was taken by a friend of mine, who has in recent years been posting all sorts of wonderful photographs of birds in the wild. I’ve always loved herons. and birds are always a favorite subject of mine to paint. But I think I was particularly drawn to this photo because of my recent adventure into kayaking on Beyers Lake where we will soon be moving. There are lots of heron at Beyers Lake. But one of the very cool things about the lake is kayaking along the edges … near the shallows! In some places it is quite eerie, and transports you to another place and time. Very primitive!
As with most all my work, the original is available for sale, as well as matted prints. You can find Waiting in the Shallows, along with many other bird paintings in my shop: https://shop.emybackart.com/shop/birds/
Thanks for looking!
