Description
Neither day nor night, not light or dark,A gradual brightening and dimming of the sky.
Two pairs of wings, forever dissolving and building
With the birth and death of the sun.
This is a commission for *merimask , who wanted a painting in the same feel as Radiance, but with flowing water and an intertwined great blue heron and great egret. I just love egrets and herons and their long, twisty necks! If Radiance is a sun/moon theme, this painting is a dawn/dusk theme
Watercolor and a little acrylic on illustration board, 7.5 X 12 inches

The shapes are so sinuous and soft, it remember me a Escher's mosaic ^^

Herons are the best. full stop. (I am quite biased on this matter) But i agree with how beautiful herons are with their long twisty necks! The artwork itself is even cooler than that of the heron

Oh this is lovely! I like this even better than Radiance, and that is saying a lot. The subdued colors highlighted with intense blue is such a beautiful combination of colors.

What a wonderful idea! The balance is magnificent - light and dark, blue and white and brown - it's hard to even find words. Beautiful work, as ever.

Radiance is one of my favorites of yours but this... THIS might top it. I hope you make it available in your etsy shop. It would compliment my Radiance print so nicely!! It's just GORGEOUS!
