An excellent pen and ink. Your selection of which waterside plants and section of water to include provides a design element that I find very appealing.

Perky young heron. Beautiful pen work John.

Agree with Lewis - lovely pen and ink work with an attractive design element to it.

Our daughter sent a photo of a young heron hunting in the riverbank. He was so focused that he was completely unbothered by the humans watching him. Pen and ink on 14cm x 22cm mixed media paper.
