Description
Pelicans are my favorite water bird. They are so clumsy and dopey looking but so graceful in flight. The feeling that I was looking for in this painting was the peacefulness of sitting on a grassy knoll and watching the calm of sail boats in the breeze. The bird entering the scene from the left, brings your eye naturally through the piece. There are many large and glorious yachts here in Florida but sail boats embody a more relaxing and soothing movement, which is the perfect antidote to my naturally worrisome mind. The goofiness of the Pelican always makes me smile!
The technique used for the background was a mask method in which one layer of alcohol ink was applied, the sailboats taped out, and then another ink layer applied. No paint brushes were used, just rags, q-tips and felt tipped alcohol ink pens for the grass. The inked over image of the pelican was an uber filtered photo from an iPhone camera. The substrate is whiteboard which I have discovered, is very useful for larger paintings and requires no frame.
