Beautiful semi-abstract life study of a heron preening its feathers. 

Herons are symbolic birds and can be thought of in the following ways:

  • Grace and Elegance: With its long legs and poised stance, the heron symbolizes grace and elegance. Its movements are often slow and deliberate, reflecting patience and serenity.

  • Self-Reliance and Independence: Herons are solitary birds. They are often seen alone, which symbolizes self-reliance, independence, and the ability to stand on one's own.

  • Tranquility and Peace: Herons are typically found in calm, still waters, which associate them with tranquility, peace, and a reflective nature.

  • Determination and Focus: The hunting style of herons—patiently waiting and then striking with precision—symbolizes determination and focus.

In some cultures, herons are also seen as messengers from the spiritual realm or as symbols of wisdom and deep understanding.

This original oil on canvas is framed in blond timber and measures 15 x 19 inches.
