Pastel on UArt, 18x12
Honorable Mention - NFPS Member Show, Spring 2012
Unable to paint at the beach, I did the next best thing and painted from memory and reference photos. I placed these three gulls in the wet sand just beyond the wave wash as they often do waiting for the tide to turn. Usually one or more of them stands on one leg, but even then they seem to be about ready to fly.
The reflections in the wet sand and the early morning sun on the foam adds the sense of color and anticipation that the games of the day are about to begin.
