Seagulls

A painting I did a couple months back for the Friend magazine. This is one that I spent long enough on it I lost track of what I liked and didn't like. That seems like a constant problem, I am always wishing I could see something with fresh eyes.

Cindy, they did!

Thanks Mark,I still think the composition is the best aspect.

Erik, that sounds like a comment about nobody visiting my blog. I live in Utah, there was a miraculous event when the pioneers first arrived where swarms of crickets where eating their early crops then seagulls arrived to eat the crickets and save the day. This illustrated a story related to that.

i am not from the states and i have never heard the story before. i have your blogspot bookmarked, and i do click it occasionally to see any new works you have, but still didnt manage to stumble upon the story itself.

sorry to ask about the obvious :)

No problem at all Erik, it is not a widely known story outside of Utah.
Thanks for visiting.
