I had to pause my painting because we moved to Florida. We are close to family and very happy here. Soon after moving into our new little home with a pond behind it, we saw a Great Blue Heron standing in our backyard. We started calling him Petey. He shows up often and once even knocked on the back sliding glass door. I am now painting the things I love about Florida, starting with Petey.

This canvas is 24 x 36, so the Heron is almost full size. Welcome home, Petey!
