Daily Painting, Pelican, Florida "Hunker Down" 6x8", SOLD

The number one rule in Florida, during hurricane season, is learn to "hunker down".

SOLD

It simply means,do what you can and then wait it out.  Prepare for the storm, bring in supplies, get lots of books to read, stay dry, and wait!

This pelican had a "hunker down" attitude about him, with no hurricane in sight.  Actually, I think he was sleeping or at least, resting, but whenever I see one in this position, I think "hunker down".

I hope you have a chance to "hunker down" today.  It is not always a bad thing.......it's sometimes pleasant to  have time taken out of your hands and be forced to just rest.

I ran into this guy on an early morning walk.  He was under the causeway and all business.

It was only a matter of minutes before he had his breakfast.

It must have been a favorite fishing spot in the area, because he was surrounded by lazy pelicans (they were watching, not working) and several fishermen in boats.  None of this seem to bother him.

Daily Painting, Seagull, Original Oil, 6x8" "Johnathan Livingston"

This guy is obviously cruisin', looking for lunch.   It always reminds me of that popular book from the 70's, "Johnathan Livingston Seagull".

I think this guy is saying "Is that a fat fish I see down there?".  Have no clue what the bluebird with a paintbrush  is doing!!!

Have a wonderful weekend...ENJOY!

Daily Painting, Oil, "The Gull", 6x8" SOLD

If you live close to the sea, these guys are a part of your everyday life.  This one looks a little serious, like he has a job to do and is going to get it done.

When my grandson was four, we went to the beach for a picnic.  When I casually mentioned to him that the sea gulls were after his sandwich, he gobbled it down.  Unfortunately, he didn't want to go to the beach for years afterwards.  The mere mention of the "beach" conjured up thoughts of a bird attack ala Alfred Hitchcock!  Bad Grandma!!

Daily Painting, Bird, "Snowy Egret" 6x8"

I found this guy on a recent photo shoot at the river.  He was trying hard to ignore me.

He kept flying away when I got too close.

But, he never had a chance; captured with my trusty ZOOM lens!

Pelican Daily Painting, 5x7, "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" SOLD

Well, technically, he was sitting on the dock of the harbor, but you get the idea...he was looking for lunch!

I met this guy while eating lunch at an out door cafe in Vero Beach.

Unlike the noisy and aggressive gulls, he was not interested in my lunch, but looking out for himself.

I hope you get a chance to "hang out" today too!  I hope you enjoy my daily paintings.

MORNING IN HYDE PARK, 6x12, Oil on Stretched Canvas SOLD

SOLD

Oh, to be in England
Now that April's there,
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England - now!!

Robert Browning

Painted from a photo reference taken on a recent trip to Hyde Park.

SWAN REFLECTION, 6X8, OIL, SOLD

I try to go for a walk several times a week and one of my favorite routes takes me pass a pond with a couple of swans.  They have been there for years and suddenly last month, they disappeared!  I really miss seeing them and have an active imagination.  I try to think they have gone on to a bigger and better pond, but I keep seeing images of bobcats.  So, this is a little tribute to my swan buddies, may you swim in peace.

My work has been showcased by Victoria at Paintslinging.  Victoria likes to showcase artists and craftsmen's products on her exciting blog.  I hope you will stop by for a visit, I am sure you will enjoy it.

STALKING EGRET,6x8, OIL, SOLD

I think waterbirds are so interesting to watch. Here in Florida we have such a large variety of them. I would not attempt to name them all, but I'm pretty sure this is an egret, maybe even a Snowy Egret. I think they are one of the prettier birds around and when they have their plumes up they are almost as showy as a peacock.
I enjoyed painting this little piece, especially layering on the thick creamy paint on his back. Almost as good as eating ice cream!

THE BROWN DUCK, 6X8, OIL,SOLD

Sometime back I did a couple of duck paintings and promised to do another. One thing led to another and the project got put on the back burner. The mood finally struck and I painted this one. The ducks are in the mountains of North Carolina and the thing that attracted me to them was the beautiful water color. The lake is surrounded by thousands of trees and the water at the marina, where I took this photo, is a brilliant emerald green. So brilliant, it looks artificial. On this work, the sky is reflecting in the water and the green shows only in the shadow.
