Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, 'Man,'
And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.

-- Poe

Winter Heron (2006). Gouache on artboard, painted at Bow Hill, WA. The heron was a daily visitor to the half-frozen waters just a few yards from the front porch of my cabin in the woods. A peaceful memory of an idyllic winter.
