# Purple Heron — Framed Piece

A Purple Heron stalks the shallows — the body folded forward in the hunting crouch, neck extended, the slate-blue and russet plumage vivid against the pale grasses of the reed margin. This is not a North American subject: the Purple Heron is a European and African species, and this painting shows Glen working from observation beyond his home territory. The anatomy is exact — the distinctive thin neck, the streaked rufous of the head and neck, the blue-grey of the wings.

Glen's willingness to study and paint species from outside his home territory reflects a scientific discipline that extended beyond nationalism: he painted the species that interested him, wherever they lived. Glen Loates is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts; his heron paintings — of multiple species — are among the most technically accomplished in his bird catalogue.

Presented as a complete framed piece — archival giclée hand-mounted, matted, and finished in your choice of gallery-quality frame. Arrives ready for the wall.
