And I love her-Blue Heron Coastal Canvas Art by Patrick Reid O’Brien

Majestic and elusive, The Blue Heron by Patrick Reid O’Brien celebrates one of North America’s most iconic birds — a symbol of grace and patience across coasts, rivers, and marshlands.

Set against a teal blue sky and natural umber marsh, this fine art giclée canvas print captures that fleeting stillness before flight. Designed as a companion to The Snowy Egret, it creates elegant symmetry beside doorways, fireplaces, or large statement walls — a graceful reflection of balance and movement in nature.

O’Brien recalls first encountering a heron as a teenager along Fairleigh Creek on the Chesapeake Bay — a towering bird that stood four feet tall before lifting off with a slow, powerful sweep of its wings. Locals in Minnesota call them “Shy Poke,” a nod to their quiet, watchful nature. Though striking in size, the heron’s presence is delicate — rarely still, always aware.

Palette: teal blue sky, warm umber marsh, soft gray-blue feathers, and pale gold light
