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.
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.

"A Sunflower Greeting" by Lynda Cookson
Good morning!
"A Sunflower Greeting" because the sun is shining, the birds are singing (even those noisy aul' Barn Owls) and the dog is nagging for a walk.

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!
Unknown
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.

Flamoboyance, by New York artist Celeste Plowden
Pink Flamingos in the water, near the beach, the shore line, feeding
and preening as the soft waves of the ocean break against the large,
exotic birds. Acrylic on canvas, UV varnish, sides painted, wired and
ready to hang. Painted with a palette knife for texture. Available at
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

My dear mother closed her eyes for the last time on April 27th. This is the last post that I had scheduled ahead. I find I need a little more time, so I will not be posting for another week or two. I know you will understand.

"Three Babies" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn
We have been so in awe of nature at work with this awesome nest and three baby robins. All of us especially love watching the mother and father bring in the worms. We have been trying to figure out how they know who to give the next worm to... The strongest, or the hungriest? Sure would be interesting to track it!
Anyway, three babies in one nest--wow. Can some of you relate?

Violet Sky Sunflowers and Going to the Birds - Flower Paintings by Nancy Medina Art
Violet Sky Sunflower Solo
by Nancy Medina
14X14
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Violet Sky Sunflower Solo was one of a few new paintings progressing in Flower Mound Studio, including a rendition of one of my favorite birds, the Roseate Spoonbill. I love these birds because they are...pink! I'm still working on this little feathered fellow, right now he looks a bit like he's just survived a hurricane, so his plumes need combing and his legs need a shave, too, while we're at it! Today the hubby came home from work with a bug, so I've been nursing hubby, obeying the pugs, and painting. At least I'm getting my exercise, not to mention reacquainting myself with that room I rarely enter, the kitchen. There's a big white square thing with fire coming out of it, I'm pretty sure that's the stove. Thank goodness they invented the microwave, though. I shudder to think what would happen if I turned on that thing that produces actual flames.
Roseate Spoonbill, in need of a bit of grooming....

Daily Painting| Wildlife Art | Bird Painting| Small Oil Painting | The Hunt by Carol Schiff 8x10" Oil
We spent a few days on Sanibel recently. It is such a lovely experience, like living in the middle of a nature preserve.
I ran into this guy on an early morning walk. He was under the causeway and all business.
It was only a matter of minutes before he had his breakfast.
It must have been a favorite fishing spot in the area, because he was surrounded by lazy pelicans (they were watching, not working) and several fishermen in boats. None of this seem to bother him.
