Digital Art - Oil On Canvas Painting
Description
The inspiration for this painting was in watching the Brown Pelicans at La Jolla Shores dive bomb from heights of 60 feet, at steep angles rotating their body and tucking their wings in just before completely plunging into the Pacific Ocean in order to catch fish. I understand that upon impact the Brown Pelican opens its large bill expanding its pouch and trapping small fish. Upon surfacing they spill out the saltwater and swallow their catch.
