Big Blue, and My 2016 Trip to Savannah

“Big Blue” is a pastel from one of my photos, one I’ve been wanting to paint for seven years, and I just finished it today. We have a rookery of great blue herons not far from me and I see them all the time flying overhead and fishing in the creek sometimes right in the […]
