Day 17 of 30 in 30 "Up top"

Today is day 17 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge I am doing through January. Today, another Pelican from my friend Dave. This guy is on a roof top, taking everything in. I love how calm these big birds appear, then when they have had enough they fly away. This painting is a little larger, 10 x 13, but actually a study for a larger yet painting! A large painting is a little scary, but I am pushing myself during this challenge, so watch for the MEGA PELICAN! I could have said lol after that, but that's not me. Anyway, I am so enjoying painting and I hope you are enjoying following me as I paint through January (I hope you continue after January too).

This painting is available in my Etsy shop

Thank you for sharing this little slice of my life

About Me

I am Betty Moore, a self taught watercolor artist living in Southern Illinois. I enjoy painting birds...seagulls, egrets, pelicans and other water and wading birds. The lake in my back yard is my endless muse. I enjoy painting fresh vegetables and fruits and other kitchen art as well. I grew up in a time when the kitchen was truly the heart of the home, making this subject dear to me. While I am a fairly new watercolor artist I paint prolifically, if the sun comes up I am probably painting. I use quality artist grade watercolor paper and paints. Prints of my work are Giclee quality. My work is in private collections, with a great sense of pride connected to each piece.
