Gotcha, realistic impressionism, wildlife, heron

"Gotcha" 
© Fawn McNeill 2007

Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Mathew 4:19

This is a tri-colored heron. They are smaller than the great blue herons. A couple of weeks ago, he was fishing near me while I was painting on location. He didn't seem to mind me at all. I took a ton of pictures of him using his wings for shade and catching anything that came near him. 
I only got about four outstanding images. I combined a couple of them for this painting. It usually takes a few months to finish a painting this size, but I worked on it almost daily. (I get extra motivated when a painting comes together right from the start!)
