Love Nest

An abandoned Spanish-style home, still whispering its stories

Graceful and intertwined, this pair of Great Blue Herons stand upon their nest — a tender moment of connection captured high above the wetlands. Their elegant necks and striking plumage form a perfect harmony, embodying the quiet devotion of their bond.

The Story Behind the Canvas

My dear friend, Don Martin, has taken countless beautiful photographs of this pair in the Viera Wetlands. When I saw this particular image, I couldn’t wait to paint it — the way they leaned into each other spoke volumes about the love and life shared in the wild.

Love Nest is a celebration of partnership, beauty, and the moments of intimacy that nature so generously reveals. Thank you, Don, for sharing your inspiring work and allowing me to bring it to canvas.
