Coastal Art ~ Loran Chavez

I am a Professional Artist in Fairhope, Alabama. My work is in multiple media but my favorite is Acrylics~next in line Watercolors and then Oils. My favorite subjects include local wildlife, landscape~usually with boats, and obsession paintings (looking at other peoples obsessions in a new way).I participate in a lot of outdoor shows with helper and spouse Christopher. I do several outdoor shows a year and this blog is about the adventures getting ready for them.

Pelican Morning

I love to paint these magnificent birds! They are grand, beautiful and comical all at once. I really enjoyed painting this one.
The painting is in oil and measures 18 x 32. The colors are a beautiful morning light. I may work on the pilings and the center one's feet though. Otherwise it is pretty much finished.
The painting a day is fun and I find it relaxing and enjoyable. I am also becoming more rapid and efficient with the downloading, cropping, and adjusting of the works. I also find I am less frustrated when there is a problem on the computer!

I like the sky, Loran, and the birdies are just beginning to "come to".
Anticipation for the day!
