This natural, tall oval wood slice features a highly detailed lakeside scene. At its center stands a grey heron in shallow water among reeds, yellow iris, and pink water lilies. Dragonflies hover above while pond skaters glide across the surface. The calm lake reflects the heron and the distant treeline under a sky dotted with soft clouds. Framed by the bark edge, the painting captures a serene moment in nature with meticulous attention to detail.
