The Great Blue Heron And Neighborhood Art


The bird stands majestically on its strong and spindly legs beside a rocky ledge, gazing at the lake that is its food source, and at the intense sunset beyond.

It's the "Great Blue Heron" by mixed media artist Rogene Manas, who teaches at Emerald Art Center, and the painting is the winner of the Mayor's Choice Award-- and $500-- at the 31st Annual Springfield Mayor's Art Show, which runs through Nov. 3 at Emerald Art Center.
