Still as Knowing

Mixed Media Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

70 x 50 x 4 cm

A heron stands perfectly still in a misted pond strewn with lilies, the light diffused-soft and glowing. Above it, tall grasses and white wildflowers sway, while the air holds its breath.Though nearly indistinguishable from the pale backdrop, the heron's form holds unmistakable presence. Its gaze is quiet but unwavering, aware of every shift around it. Blending into the morning, it becomes part of the light-steadfast, unseen by most, but never unknowing.
