This Great Blue Heron was painted on an 18″ x 36″ gallery wrapped canvas. These herons are very tall and stand 38-54 inches. In flight the bird looks enormous with a six-foot wingspan. In many Native American cultures, the blue heron, particularly the Great Blue Heron, is a powerful symbol of patience, good luck, and prosperity, especially for fishermen. It can also represent self-reliance, balance, and even a connection to the spiritual world. Some tribes view the heron as a guide to finding serenity and a reminder of inner strength. This particular fellow is self-reliant …. and he is sassy!!
