Acrylic on Wood Cradle Board

Known for their silent hunting style, this smaller species of Heron crouches patiently at the water’s edge before striking with speed and accuracy. Its stealthy approach serves as a reminder to be patient but deliberate in our actions. Depicted in art as symbols of focus, balance, and watchfulness, they have become omens of good fortune and growth.
