For this painting I took over 200 photos of herons in different places in Florida. For pictures of water lilies I made a kayak trip on Wakiwa river and lake Dora.
I know that I could find all kinds of pictures on the internet, but I wanted to get a full impression. I want people to feel a real energy behind the painting, not just see the picture.
The painting now is a centerpiece of the client's living room.
