I know he was looking for food... but... it looked like he was looking in the mirror!! I have one more gull painting to go to finish off this little series!

Morning Jog

6"x8" Oil on gessoboard

SOLD

Spring is in the air...at least I think this gull thinks so, the way he was happily jogging along the beach! I have been painting a lot of birds  the last few months...this will be the last one for a while.  

It's good to get back to my small work after the last few months of larger ones! I also want to practice more landscapes and try and get outside to do studies...always more and more to learn!!

I like the attitude of this gull...it looks like he is on guard! I am always taking photos of them when walking along the beach in the mornings, their behaviour amuses me!! I am halfway through a large one of four gulls and I forgot how much work is involved. Painting small is good practice but I started out painting large so it feels good to get back to it again!!

Resting Gull

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

This gull knows how to relax!!  I could learn from him... he was very calm sitting in the grass taking in the warm sun and didn't mind me getting close to take photos. I'm not sure but I think he is a young red billed gull.  First daily painting for this week! I had a good day in the studio today, did my drawing and worked on two other paintings...that's how it's supposed to work...let's see if it's the same tomorrow!!

Drawing #33

Lime and Blueberries...Pen and watercolor.  These came from the market, fresh organic blueberries...so delicious! The limes are pretty good too!

Standing Room

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

I came across this gull standing on one of the many rocks along the beach, with just enough standing room to take in the morning sunshine. This is the first painting I have been able to do this week! I have nearly finished three other paintings and managed a drawing every day so all in all not too bad going!! Still have a newsletter waiting to be started!

Drawing #23

Passionfruit....Pen and watercolor.  First passionfruit I have had this year and had to draw them before I ate them!

Gull

Drawing #2
Pen and watercolor sketch

I have enjoyed my break from painting after the 30 day challenge...I will be starting again tomorrow! I found this gull on my usual morning walk, he was sitting quietly in the grass along the top of the beach just resting in the sun. Again I added a bit of color...it's nice to  to sketch  for a change! I like this one and I'm going to paint it at some stage!

 I did not have a clue what I was going to paint today, in fact the last thing I felt like doing was painting...it's Sunday, a beautiful sunny day and I wanted to be out!! I did go walking early this morning  and as luck would have it, I found my painting for the day!! This gull was just standing quietly in the sun...he even let me get close and take a photo! Very considerate of him I thought!!
