Nesting Herons

Original Geoffrey C. Smith Oil Painting
48"w x 60"h
 
In Nesting Herons, Geoffrey C. Smith brings the wild heart of the wetlands to life with bold, Fauvist color and impassioned palette knife strokes. Two great blue herons, poised among vivid reeds and tangled brush, stand guard over a hidden nest just beyond the viewer’s gaze. The scene pulses with energy—sunlight shimmers in lavender water, palms sway in hues of emerald and fire, and every stroke feels alive with movement and purpose. It’s a celebration of new life, fierce devotion, and the untamed beauty of a moment captured in the wild.
