Brown Pelican Watercolor
I have never painted a brown pelican before – this is my first. I have completed several small white pelican pieces, however – but the brown seemed to be much more ‘exotic’ in it’s coloring. It was a real treat to paint it. Being in the near-center of […] Read more »
Watercolor Portrait – Great Horned Owl In Miniature
