The herons were airborne as they flew by my hidden post. I had my long lens aimed and ready! The excitement of catching these majestic birds in flight, at eye level got my heart pumping! Placing them in an otherworldly atmosphere was the right thing to do. This piece is oil on aluminum with gold metal leafing and spray paint. No need to frame as it has a shadow mount system where the painting appears to float off the wall, just like the herons in the air. Peaceful yet with an energy that glows like the gold.
