Great Blue Heron skin in the collection of the Yellowstone Heritage and Research Center12"x16" Oil on linen by Shirl Ireland
Speaking of birds... I've been painting a lot of them at the Yellowstone Heritage and Research Center. They hold very still for me there... so I learn a lot! It's incredible to see them up so close and study every feather. And their feet... REALLY amazing. You see how well every bird is designed. Whether it's catching fish, like this heron or mice like an owl, their beaks, body shapes and feet are designed for their mission.
