Pelican sketch

Since I'm trying to mentally live in a warmer climate, I'll be posting more tropical scenes.  I took photos of pelicans who were dive bombing and flying around near snorklers in Magen's Bay, USVI.  Now I've painted it for your viewing pleasure.

I've used watercolor and colored pencil, a combination Judi Betts (my favorite painter) uses in her sketches quite often. 

You can also see the hole punches at the top of the page, where this study will fit into my artist's journal.  In less than a week I have gotten over having random hole punches in my work (and digital representations of my work).  Hey, it's all part of the history of the object--just makes it more interesting.
