Animals, Pelican, Jacqui Petersen
Pelicans are one of my favourite birds. This is done in watercolour from a pic I took at Healesville Sanctuary, a wildlife park.

I see only a peek of the bird. Is that how you posted it as is? . It is real good but I am sure you did more of it. It just came sort of cut off.
ReplyDeleteIt is a cropped in view of the head. I wanted a close up.
DeleteA lovely pelican painting. I love the cropping of the image and the bird at the left. Great composition.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jez. Glad you like it.
DeleteBeautiful wash of blue sky surrounding this wonderful bird. Full of personality!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Jacqui, happy to seeing your first post, thanks for joining us here from Australia! I look forward to more of your awesome art!
Thank you for allowing me to join this wonderful group.
DeleteHe's lovely! Brown pelicans are our state bird but the white ones like this are prettier. Love the crop!
ReplyDeleteOh I came in to see again. You did a crop. I am learning. Lovely done.
ReplyDeleteJacqui, I love the crop of the pelican! The eye and the beak are always the most interesting part and you did them so well!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan and Melisa.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cropped view of this bird... it makes the entire composition more visually appealing. Happy Painting!
