"Who Called This Meeting?"
Pastel on gatorboard, 14x11
SOLD
It was windy from the north-east, and painting at the beach was a bit of a challenge. I completed the waves and the sand, but when I tried to add the birds, I kept getting blown about smudging the details. After about three redo's on the birds, I decided to take it home and finish it inside. This is the result.
My wife, Patty, suggested the title. I think it's delightful. It's as if these birds were just standing in the edge of the surf without any purpose or any activity - so like some of the meetings I had to attend.
