Joyful, joyful, to be alive at the beach! Make every day count.
This heron, unlike many of his counterparts chose to fish on the ocean side of Mustang Island. This is where I caught sight of him. As I happened to be on photo safari, I counted yet another blessing as I snapped his picture. Back in studio the image was used to inspire the final painting you see below.
This is my usual process for quite some time now, and it is enjoyable, challenging, rewarding, and full of fun surprises!
