Widespread and familiar the Blue Heron is the largest heron in North America. Often seen standing silently along inland rivers or lake shores, or flying high overhead with slow wingbeats. This highly adaptable bird thrives around all kinds of waters from subtropical mangrove swamps to desert rivers to the coastline of southern Alaska.

According to North American Native tradition, the Blue Heron brings messages of self-determination and self-reliance. They represent an ability to progress and evolve. The long thin legs of the heron reflect that an individual doesn't need great massive pillars to remain stable, but must be able to stand on one's own.

This attractive rendition from Carolyn is aesthetically pleasing to the mind. Displaying the self reliance of this incredible creature of nature. Once again Carolyn captures and shares a moment with this 12" x 16" oil painting.
