Good Morning! Everything is so shiny, fresh and lush! The 3rd is not dusty at least and I also am guessing that because of the rain, it's also fairly quiet in the ATV department.

The Canada Geese that live in the pond the other side of Ledge Hill Rd have finished molting, and the goslings look like geese. The nasty old Gander still is vigilant though, and attacked my car bumper the other day as I slowed down to take a look at his kids. The very first time he did this was 2 years ago - I thought he was going to fly right in at me through the open truck window! I did learn my lesson from that day, I don't drive by with open windows anymore!

Lately, we have seen several Great Blue Herons in the goose pond. They are braver than I am. The watercolour I did of a Great Blue was from an estero (small river running into the ocean) in the town of Guayabitos, Mexico. He was very fierce looking - perhaps to keep the crocodile away?

This piece is a watercolour done on cold press 140lb stock.

Currently unframed.

I am pricing it unframed at $79.00 CAD.

Painting is a very intense process for me. I painted with pal/mentor Sandy the other day for 5 hours and it was like some kind of time warp, because it sure went by quickly! Not only did she throw me a couple of new techniques to practice ... she video'd me! Uck! Much chewing on paint brush! But, I did frame up the three little paint sketches I did ... they look great. Thanks Sandy!
