The Coquet Estuary

Comments

That is a beautiful painting, Carole. Is that the heron who normally sits by the weir between Amble and Warkworth??

Yes David. It is. Changed the background a bit but glad you recognised it.

We have two herons further up the Coquet and more near The Hermitage. Good one Carole!

Such a striking painting Carole. I really like the depth of the darker areas it adds the sparkle to the highlights.

Love the dramatic setting and its contrast with the still form of the bird and boat. Lovely work, Carole.

It’s a very common sight to see herons along this estuary and I tried to capture this scene I had seen at dusk. It’s a bit darker than I had intended. Soft pastels and pastel pencils on pastelmat. 12” x 16”.
