The Ojibwa Artist Naturalist Drawings
Great Blue Heron Copyright © 1999 by Michael Sherman
This juvenile Great Blue Heron was drawn from 5 feet away. It was found in my backyard and would not fly away. The next morning, all that remained of this bird was a pile of feathers. My guess is that a family of racoons, which I heard that night, devoured it.
This drawing ignited by desire to draw and paint the natural world around me.
