| THOUSAND LAKES HERON |
I tried to show the lushness of the
forests in Minnesota with this watercolor.
I used a lot of thalo, blues and greens, to get an almost unnaturally
deep color that can get really overwhelming if you have ever been there. The woods are thick, (I am sure Big Foot,
Sasquatch and Yeti all gather there for family reunions) interspersed with big
lakes, little lakes, and medium sized lakes.
It is truly an amazing state!
Years ago, we met family up at a cabin in the depths of the Minnesota
woods to go fishing. What amazed me most
was the boldness of the bald eagles and great blue herons. They weren't bothered by the noisy groups of
people. They posed, preened, and went
about their business without a bit of self-consciousness. I could learn a thing or two from them...
