White Pelican Painting

White Pelican Oil Painting

The Florida landscape enjoys its pelicans, flying down the beach in formation, dipping into the surf to catch a fish, and sitting around the boat yard looking for handouts from fishermen who bring their catch ashore. This pelican was perched on a dock piling, waiting for the days' catch to appear.

This pelican painting almost painted itself - the sky was a perfect dark ultramarine blue, which made the whites in the pelican and the clouds stand out.

A Bald Eagle Nesting

My friend took a photo of this eagle nesting in a high tree, and I based this painting on it. I was struck by its powerful pose, the texture of the nest, and the vivid blue.
