A painting of a herd of Holstein cows enjoying a swim and cooling off on a warm and sunny afternoon at the lake. The day is also pleasant for a great egret, blue herons and a barn owl. Lush green foliage of the trees provides welcome shade and serene beauty to this scene. Water lilies in the foreground add to the pastoral setting. |
| The Blue Heron inhabits our shoreline from Spring through Fall. It is the largest heron in North America with a height of almost 4 feet and wingspan of about 6 feet. It can be seen wading and fishing in the water of Madison Lake behind our studio. |  |

The Great Egret is
a resident along Madison Lake shoreline Spring to Fall. It is the symbol
of the National Audubon Society and can have a lifespan of up to 23 years.
During mating season, its long back plumes are a sight to behold. Great
Egrets may be seen standing in the lake waiting for a fish to appear for
their next meal. |
