Description
Heron At Sunset by D Hackett
Herons and egrets are common in Florida and seen frequently. A fiery orange sunset silhouettes this graceful waterbird. This image was drawn on toned paper using pencil, colored pencil, colored markers and soft pastels.
Great Blue Heron
Whether poised at a river bend or cruising the coastline with slow, deep wingbeats, the Great Blue Heron is a majestic sight. This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher. In flight, look for this widespread heron�s tucked-in neck and long legs trailing out behind.

Great Egret
The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill. Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds.
My work is primarily in colored pencil on paper, using a variety of toned papers in drawing mostly North American landscapes and wildlife. My drawings are on toned paper and kept simplistic, with added texture, using pencil, colored pencil, colored markers and soft pastels. Birds are a favored subject, though my repertoire has expanded to include animals, butterflies, trees and landscapes.
