| Brown Pelican |
At Seawolf Park in Galveston, TX, there is an enormous boardwalk with WWII vessels, and several fishing piers that overlook the busy channel complete with oil tankers, auto ferries and cruise ships. We chose this spot for the views and all the channel action. I had plenty of visitors while I painted, military personnel, tourists, and fishermen. The friendliest observer of all though was this (not shy) brown pelican. He literally landed on this railing from a glide roughly two feet above my head. If he wasn't in this painting, I'd be leaving out the most memorable part of the experience.
