Heron (Bert) at Brown’s Inlet

Oil on gallery depth canvas.

24x36x2"

This Great Blue Heron, affectionately nicknamed by locals as “Bert”, is a familiar presence in my local park in the Glebe, Ottawa, and a favourite subject of mine. Capturing a quiet moment at the water’s edge, the painting reflects the calm beauty of urban wildlife. Seeing Bert thrive in this city space is always encouraging—a hopeful reminder that we can coexist with wildlife, and a sign of a healthy, balanced park ecosystem.
