Twenty Seagulls

Twenty Seagulls
14" x 18"
Acrylic on Canvas

I painted this picture several years ago and gifted it to my Cousin Alan and I just ran across a photo of it. We were on a trip to the coast and staying in a cottage in Yachats, Oregon. The day was so miserable outside I had to stay in all day. I hadn't planned on painting much and only had a few colors with me. That is why the birds are what colors they are. If you can get them to hold still long enough you will be able to count twenty seagulls.
