White Pelican 6x6 inches Oil on Canvas Panel by George De Chiara Click here to bid. Opening bid just one cent! Day 25, I can't believe I'm half way through this painting challenge! It's been a great time so far and I've really enjoyed hearing from so many of you. Now it's time to buckle down and get through the next 25 days.
The inspiration for today's painting came from one of the many trips my wife and I have taken over the years. We usually try to go to a bird sanctuary or wildlife refuge for a day or two on each trip. We spotted this white pelican while we where in Corpus Christi last year at a great bird refuge. It was hard to choose between this white pelican and the roseate spoon bills, herons, seagulls and ducks of all kinds. I must have taken a hundred photographs while we were there. I settled on this shot because of the way the light was striking the pelican and just loved the way it fell across his beak and neck. For this painting, I videotaped myself painting.
