Blue Heron with "Tude"
This is one of the canvases from India, hence why it looks a little wrinkled.
The photo is not the best either!
Chris is building my stretcher bars as I have 17 to stretch.
Have you ever observed these wonderful birds?
They have to be the most graceful yet gawky,
beautiful yet beastly,
crafty yet cunning bird you will ever watch.
Try to go fishing, he will steal your bait.
They will intimidate you into dropping your fish you just caught.
They will stalk small fish, larger fish, fresh water turtles, sting rays,
and I've even photographed one eating a snake!
Drop your hook into the water and he will swiftly and silently fly in, landing just a few scant feet from where you are standing. Given the opportunity, he will take your fish
just as you are reeling it in for the catch!
A Bird with Attitude for sure!

Beautiful, sly but patiently waiting in the background.
