| Putting Down |
I have been going through boxes of paintings that needed something, and I found this one. I have retouched the color and values, made the image more crisp, and refined the context. The "new" painting accomplishes all that I wanted to gain originally.
The following is my original description for painting this seagull.
"On rainy days, I go through my old paintings, reference photos, and drawings looking for things that interest me. For some reason, I often find myself drawn to sea gulls. I admire their freedom and exuberance.
"This particular gull is actually from a photo of a large flock, but his form and sense of presence attracted my attention. I pulled him out for this study and first called it "All Alone" which is a little ironic because gulls are rarely alone. "Putting Down" is more descriptive."
