Description

A great blue heron is out in the Merritt Island wetlands looking for a meal. He looks up just as an osprey flies overhead with a fresh fish. Both birds eat fish.
This is an imaginary scene. I began this painting of a Florida wetland area. It seemed to need some life. I added the heron. I thought that it would be fun to add an osprey. To that, I added a fish in it it's tallons.
Ospreys are also called fish hawk, large, long-winged hawk, that lives along seacoasts and larger interior waterways, where it catches fish. It is brown above and white below, with some white on the head.
Ospreys fly over the water to hunt. It hovers above its prey and then plunges feet first to seize a fish in its long, curved talons. With a grip secured by sharp spicules on the underside of the toes, the bird carries its prey to a favourite perch to feed.
Great blue herons get their name from the grayish blue coloration of the feathers on their upper wings, back, and tail. Their face is nearly white, with a pair of black stripes running above their eye to the back of their head. They have gray necks, with white and black streaks. The great blue heron is the largest North American heron.
This expressionistic surreal acrylic painting is on a 15” by 24” stretched Belgian linen.
