I went out to a point that looks back on Morro Bay. There were many dug out Indian bowls in the surrounding rocks. This poor pelican must have died during the night--the vultures and even the bugs hadn't found it yet--it was freshly dead. I posted these two together because I painted the landscape that I saw just above the pelican, so they do go together one on top of the other. Many, many artists have painted and photographed Morro rock, well...here's another! I couldn't finish these yesterday. The wind came up almost as soon as I got out there, so it was cold--I packed it up and finished them today. Check out these two blogs I found, both are very informative about artist's techniques, with information about other artists and both are fun to read, Maggie Stiefvater, and James Gurney. I've linked them onto my blog $120 matted / $160 matted & framed

Hi Sue
Great painting of the rock! I love the bold quality of the foreground, juxtaposed with the softer background. This painting is a cross between a John Marin and a Rockwell Kent, two artists who worked and lived here in the State "o" Maine. If you are unfamiliar with their work, I strongly encourage you to look them up!
Keep up the wonderful work!!!
