Flying high, but how low can you go?


The paintings are so much fun to create and see the final product.
I am really getting excited to see the booth in place at the National Shrimp Festival.
One week from today we'll be down in Gulf Shores!
These pelicans are such characters.
Their diving, eating until they are so full, they can't fly!
Trying to swallow things that are too big to eat.
Gawky when they walk, graceful when they fly.
I love painting them!

Octopus are peculiar creatures indeed.
They can regenerate an arm.
They have nine brains, one in their head and one in each arm!
They can change color on a whim.
They have a beak like a parrot!
They can fit through a hole with their entire body, if their beak goes through.
They can unscrew a lid from a jar if the jar has food.
Slippery, intelligent, sometimes creepy, always peculiar.
Most of all, fun to paint!
