It's always exciting to start a painting and return to the same site on another day to complete it. Even at the same time of day, there is always a difference in lighting and atmosphere. This was painted on a Wednesday and completed the following Saturday - just a few days apart, but it had rained on Thursday causing the water to take on an olive tone.

Sandra and I were painting scenes in the East pasture. I was almost finished with the foreground tree when the heron landed on a lower limb and stayed just long enough for me to put him into the painting. Just before I signed my name in the wet paint, a cow wandered through the scene looking for a mid-morning snack. She was soon gone. These unexpected visitors added a bit of whimsey.
