Six Seabirds
24 in. x 12 in.,
Acrylic on canvas
$300 unframed
A few weeks ago I sat watching the tide recede from Crescent Beach in Wells, Maine, with sketchbook and camera in my lap. The wind was a bit stiff, the sky was all roily and the retreating tide undressed this hulking monolith on which the birds loitered and chatted, all in a row.
This was a fun low-light painting to build from moody colors in the atmosphere, down to the glossy beach, the surf-drenched rocks, and of course, the gaggle of wet cormorants atop their salty outpost. This is a tall painting, one foot wide by two feet tall, bigger than this blog format makes it appear.
