I think they are much more attractive with their brightly colored orange beaks and feet. They seem to get along just fine with the brown guys.

Daily Painting, Birds, "Pelican Patrol" 6x18"
You may notice that these are not your everyday type of pelicans. Most pelicans are brown and gray and kind of dull, unless they are a breeding male, their heads turn yellow during breeding season.
These beautiful birds, are larger, and a little on the rare side. I found these in Sebastian, Florida where a large colony lives.

Flowers bring so much into our lives. Even the most dreary of days are easily brightened by viewing a garden full of blooming flowers.
Hope you have a great day today. Give someone a flower and brighten their day!

Daily Painting, Original Oil, Birds, "The Loner"
A wonderful bird is the pelican.........
His bill will hold more than his belly can.
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week.........
But I'm damned if I see how the hell he can!

That is a little poem from my childhood days. I lived in Ohio, my grandparents in Florida. My grandmother had a postcard of a pelican that included that poem. Florida seemed like a magical place to me then, and the poem stayed with me through the years.
Join me tomorrow for more of Pelican Week!

Daily Oil Painting, Birds, "Waverunners" 12x12" SOLD
These birds were my constant companions on early morning walks on the beaches of Sanibel.
I used both brush and palette knife on this one. I like the contrast of texture achieved in this way.
The birds ignored me and my camera, knowing they could move much faster then I can.

Florida Landscape Paintng | Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Dance of the Wavesby Carol Schiff | 6x8" Palette Knife Painting | SOLD

| SOLD |
I don't really understand what it is about water that makes our blood pressure drop, why it is so appealing to most everyone.
During the hot, steamy summer months, I often wonder why we live in Florida, but this time of the year, there is no doubt.
Paint me a picture of the landscape.
Dance me the dance of the waves.
Sing me of the legends of the river.
Tell me the story of the sky.
