Reflection of a Great Blue Heron

"Reflection of a Great Blue Heron" is a plein air composition completed on location.  It was done at Fort Lowell Park in Tucson, AZ.  I found the perfect spot in the shadow of a large sign. Where I sat showed only the reflection of the bird sitting on a branch of a log in a pond with two big trees in the foreground.  Luckily, the bird perched on that branch the whole hour I painted him!  An ant bit my lower back, but it was definitely worth it.
