Description

Oil painting on canvas by Craig Biondi depicting a blue heron bird standing on one leg. The bird's plumage is meticulously rendered in a mix of soft pinks, grays, and whites, contrasted strikingly against its black and white head and neck. Its eye is sharply defined with a bright yellow surrounding, and the beak is long, pointed, and bright orange. The background of the painting is a simple, soft blue, which emphasizes the heron and its elegant stance.
