This was a commission piece, the image is painted on a 12" octagon-shaped deer hide drum.
The colors and painting are much softer and more vibrant in reality.

Heron is a symbol of patience and wisdom. Heron people are generally good orators and leaders, powerful speakers and good listeners. Heron medicine teaches people that good things are worth waiting for, when to speak and when to listen.
