"A White Heron" and my visual interpretation
Earlier this year I painted my interpretation of certain aspects that caught my attention in the short story "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett as part of a university assignment.
I am not a trained painter, and what I know about painting is what I have taught myself over the last two decades. I paint because I love it, and enjoy the relaxing process as well as the colorful results. For this project, I wasn't being graded on the artistic talents (I gave a sigh of relief when I heard my professor say this) but the main focus was the interpretation, the thoughts that went into it.
Today I want to share an updated version of that short essay I wrote for my visual interpretation and the artistic process. I share it because as you will read, the story has become one of my favorites, and if you enjoy the essay then it may encourage you to read the story.
