In Florida we have beautiful big birds- herons, cranes, ibises, egrets- the sky is the limit. I always take these beautiful birds for granted until I go north.
Recently, I took a trip to Pennsylvania to visit family and paint in the open air in the beautiful Chester County countryside.
We stayed in Chester Springs, where I know the terrain like the back of my hand.
IN the small village of Yellow Springs is a metal sculpture of a great blue heron. It is next to the historic Washington Building, which served as a hospital during the Revolutionary War for George Washington's groups.
So I set up there early one morning and painted the metal bird, glad that I would be soon returning to hot, sticky Florida, where the birds are real.
