Every summer, I have the pleasure of watching an osprey at the lake. He's a magnificent fisherman, spending his days soaring above the water before plunging into the lake in pursuit of his next meal. I never tire of watching him!

One early morning, while taking the dogs outside, I spotted him perched quietly in a nearby tree. For once, he wasn't diving or hunting. He was simply sitting, watching, and waiting. I was fortunate enough to capture a photograph of that peaceful moment, which became the inspiration for my latest watercolor, The Art of Waiting.

I love the contrast between the osprey's incredible energy in flight and the quiet patience he displays between dives. There is something beautiful about those moments of stillness in nature that we might otherwise overlook.

For me, The Art of Waiting is a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful stories in nature unfold when we simply slow down and observe.
