Waiting for Dinner


Oil on Raymar canvas - 6x6

To puchase, contact me.

I spend quite a bit of time at the beach, and the shore birds and the gulls always intrigue me with their patience. They stand motionless and watch the waves wash back and forth over their feet... waiting for that next morsel.

This painting was done from drawings and reference photographs. I have tried to capture the motion of the water with its waves and foam in contrast the the lone bird motionless and waiting.
