Dance of the Herons
Another picture of Tina’s that really took my breath was this one of two herons in a mating dance. The composition was perfection, and I tried to do it justice. Dance of the Herons is a 12X16 Oil Painting on Gessobord.
(This piece and a couple others in this collection are painted in layers instead of my normal wet on wet technique. I lay an umber layer to tone the gessobord and establish lights and darks. After that dries, I lay a gray layer to further establish contrast and values. This takes a few days to dry and then finally I add the color layer. The rich detail that comes together here is from this process.)
