Signed Expressionist Heron Painting from Costa Rica, "Sunrise (Heron)"

In this painting, Costa Rican artist Olga Saenz Carbonell presents a unique view of the heron. The normally white bird displays its beautiful plumage, glowing with organge and yellow hues by the light of the rising sun. Says the artist, "Herons always draw my attention. They are profoundly graceful, as if dancing between the mud and the roots. They have thin and smooth forms, and it is no coincidence that the dances of oriental cultures evoke these beautiful birds."
