White Heron by Marilyn Wells

20“ x 24“,

Oil and Cold Wax Painting incorporating sand

was inspired by

…And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds—

A white cross streaming across the sky, its feet

Like black leaves, its wings like the stretching light

  Of the river?

  -Mary Oliver “Swan” 2404OCW

One of my new "Mother Earth" Series, a light yellow and violet painting featuring a Great White Heron.

This painting is about luxuriating in the beauty of nature and art as they come together in a richly textured, yet humble, calm, surface. The subject matter is mystical and romantic, which appeals to me in many ways. Painting abstractly leaves much to you, the viewer to interpret for yourself with all your own personal nuances and meanings.

Delivery / pickup arranged with artist. Please contact me before purchase if this painting needs to be shipped outside the Denver area.
