The Brown Pelican

Acrylics on canvas board.  8"x 10"
 
I got some new acrylics, and a travel art case as a gift, so I had to try them out.  Here is a brown pelican sitting on Station Street Pier.  The paints had good color and were easy to use.  They had a glossy shine to them that I dont normally have.  They looked more like oils when dried.

Egret Triptych

These paintings are 8" x 10" each. They are acrylics on canvas. I had a lot of fun doing these and are still some of my personal favorites. They have been sold and are in a private collection.

The egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society and represents a conservation success story. These birds were severely hunted for their plumage and is why the National Audubon Society got started.
