Me and Mister BlueNational Wildlife Art Show
Irving, Texas
Mister Blue, Great Blue Heron
24X30
Oil on Canvas
Mister Blue was juried into a national wildlife art show recently, and he will fly home with me in a few days after spending time with lions, tigers, and bears *oh my* at the Jaycee Center for the Arts in Irving. This regal fellow was painted from a photograph taken by my talented friend Sharon from the blog A New England Life. Take a peep at her bird photography, you'll see why I am so inspired every time I visit Sharon and see her amazing images.
It's wet, chilly, and dark as pitch in Dallas and this cuppa hot mocha coffee with whippy creme is my best friend this morning. Whoever invented coffee, I *heart* them! Stay warm today and give your little four footed friends hugs for me.... My studio assistants are sawing logs, blissfully unaware of cares and woes, and counting the moments until suppertime.

LOL Tata! you are so kind. I am an OLD girl for sure...many hugs to you in Roma! xoxoxoxo
Annie has such a nice bed and pillows - no wonder logs can be sawed...though I think you were probably talking about Howie and Java.
Well the rain! Oh well. Stay indoors....
What a lovely painting. Your work has such a "soft touch" to it. And speaking of soft...Annabellie's pillows look nice and comfy:-)
Really nicely done, Nancy. I love the brushwork and colors. You've captured a misty, atmospheric morning in New England. Stay warm and dry! I know we will be getting tons of rain this evening in Houston.
So beautiful Nancy and so is the painting!! : )

Wow, that is so beautiful, Nancy! I love to visit Sharon -- her photos are amazing. :)
I didn't realize how large the painting was Nancy. It really did come out nice, hopefully you're happy with it. Becky had just the right wording and description. Just think of how inspired you'd be if you lived in New England!
That little Miss Annabelly could care less about Herons! Just give her a warm place to sleep and she's all good : )
hi Nancy see you still have your little heartbeat at your feet. Love your painting. Hope you have a great holiday season!!!
Nancy, I am astounded by your consistently beautiful paintings, no matter the subject! The blue bird (heron?) is a masterpiece! Of course, I am quite drawn to Annabelle as it looks like she found the most comfy spot in the house! She looks like a puppy here!
Congrats on getting juried into an International show. How cool is that. Of course the painting almost pales next to your warm and bright smile!
You look too cute in that picture, Nancy! The painting is amazing.
By the way...do you hire out your studio assistant?
