Project Finishing Day

I had to wait patiently for this little Marsh Wren to show its self.  It liked to flutter down low in the cat tails, teasing me with its call.

 

This Blue Heron has been on and off my painting table for a year now.  There's nothing like a looming deadline (my September gallery show), which I have been avoiding due to summer boating and cottage visiting, to get things done.

 

 

A few more highlights and accents.  Now it is finished.  We live in an area that is home to many swans.  This is the second time I have painted them.  I love reflecting other colours in the white.
