Neither day nor night, not light or dark,

A gradual brightening and dimming of the sky.

Two pairs of wings, forever dissolving and building

With the birth and death of the sun.

This is a commission for Merimask on DA, who wanted a painting in the same feel as Radiance, but with flowing water and an intertwined great blue heron and great egret. I just love egrets and herons and their long, twisty necks! If Radiance is a sun/moon theme, this painting is a dawn/dusk theme :)

Watercolor and a little acrylic on illustration board, 7.5 X 12 inches
