Description 2 herons pose in the still blue water in front of a crisp blue sky with thin wispy clouds. The composition is framed on the bottom with a patch of cattails, and at the top by meandering tree branches. Its a whimsical illustration that combines my drawings with my photos. Its got storybook charm and lots of clear color: cerulean, periwinkle, soft muted green, dusty brown, and chalky white.The original image is a digital collage. A black and white pen & ink drawing was scanned into Photoshop where it was manipulated with color fills, and fills created from scans of my photos, my paintings, and objects (feathers). Since the original image is digital, the only physical form in which it exists is as a print.
