I found this Pelican on Paint My Photo; the color of the water and the restful pose of the large bird drew me in so I had to paint it. I am quite enamored of Pelicans so the great  number of them I saw over the Fourth in Southport  made me happy.  I was a little concerned that they were not around earlier in the season.

This was painted from a photo I found either on Paint My Photo or the Morgue File. It was fun to paint and I am grateful for the use of the photo.  I still want to find my collection of Pelican photos to use.

I will be continuing with more of these amazing creatures. I love seeing a long line of them flying over the beach.

Looking For Pelicans

I am in the mood to paint pelicans; I have many photos of them which I can't find. I have painted this bird several times but did not see any pelicans around the yacht basin the last time we ate at Provision Company.  I think it may even be possible that many of my pelican photos were taken before I had a digital camera. This may take some searching, but I am ready to paint them when I locate them. Meanwhile, if you have any good Pelican photos you would like to send me, please do so.

Pelican On The Dock


This spot beside the Provision Co. restaurant in Southport is a favorite place for the pelicans to hang out.  In North America, the brown pelican is endangered but populations are recovering to some extent.  These sea birds were devastated by chemical pesticides such as DDT, which damaged the eggs of pelicans and many other species.
