Although I've been concentrating mostly on human subjects lately, I thought I would share a picture of a great blue heron I painted not too long ago. This was the first painting I sold, and was a commisioned piece. I first provided the client with a charcoal sketch of the bird in the wild (as painted), and also one of a more "portrait" type shot of just the heron's head and feathers in what looked like a glamor pose.
