"Pelican Preserve"

I don't think any of the large Florida birds are more entertaining than the Pelican. From as high as 50 feet their dramatic headfirst plunges straight into the water are spectacular. I have seen a dozen or more flying in a perfect "V" formation drop and glide not more than a few inches above the surface of the water for hundreds of yards. There's no way you can hold back a smile when you see one with its comic waddle as it goes from fisherman to fisherman on a pier looking for a free meal.
In this piece I have painted them in their winter plumage. The top of the head turns yellow and the rest of the neck feathers turns white. In the summer the top of the head is white and the neck is vertically divided one half brown and the other white.
The price for the small vertical limited edition prints is $50.00. The print comes with an off white matt and a backing board but no frame. They are also priced at $20.00 for just the limited edition print by itself without the matt or backing board. This gives you the opportunity to select the matting of your choice. All prices include shipping anywhere in the United States.
