Here's another large painting that is kind of a hybrid of my representational and abstract styles. We often see blue herons on our walks along Salmon Creek. Instead of painting one with naturalistic colors, I had a vision of a true BLUE heron. Somehow I think it works, juxtaposed against the abstract energy of marks and textures in this painting.

Yes it works Don and reminds me of Hockney in its vibrancy and energy.
