Birth of a Painting #4 and bonus**

Happy Monday...I had a chance to do a little painting this weekend. I worked on the 'wood pile barn' (need a name for it) and started a new painting of a friends dog Zelda. I am considering posting it as I paint it as well.
Although I went on several hikes, I didn't take too many pictures. This one of a Blue Heron and Canadian Goose was the best of the bunch. I took it on my way back from Jo's house on Chestnut Ridge Rood in Redding. Usually Blue herons wont let me get this close, but I was struggling with enough light to get proper sharpness and exposure. This one however seemed to have a unique feel to it. Cheers
