"The Hunter (Blue Heron)"

Original Oil on canvas 16 x 20

by Patty A. Sykes (c) 2008

We saw this beautiful Blue Heron on one of our trips to Maumee

Bay Resort by Lake Erie last year. He was just busy hunting and

posing for us. The photography is by my husband Bill and

I knew this would make a great painting.

It has been accepted in the 2009 "Wings, Tails, Hooves

& Scales: An Art Exhibition Celebrating Animals

which takes place at the Midwest Veterinary

Conference in Columbus, Ohio Feb. 19-22.

Thanks for visiting.
