Sea Gull

Alas, that ever present bird has made a comeback on Dabfly Arts.  Living by the water, I see them every day.  Some days they look like they are having fun floating on gentle ocean breezes, others they look like they are hating life trying to stay warm in a cold winter wind.  This guy falls into the former category.  He is definitely loving life.   Nice warm climate, a nice dock to stand on.

Birds are fun to paint.  I don't know why I like them so much.  I guess its because each one has its own personality.  Every bird I paint gets its own story.  This one is definitely looking at something on the dock.  Maybe a tasty bit of food has blown onto the wood, he has just seen it, and it about to go over and have a snack.

Whatever his real story, he was a blast to paint.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you want to see how I did it, I have, as has become my custom, made a video of it.  You can see it below.  Thanks for the read, and the view if you have the inclination.
