I've been hoping for some good reference photos of seagulls in flight and my hope was answered a few weeks ago when Ann and I went camping up at Deception Pass by Anacordes. We found a great spot and went for a hike down the beach towards the bridge that spans the narrows of Deception Pass. These seagulls were hovering in the pressure created by the wind coming over these rocks . I'm working on a 16x32 oil painting using this sketch and reference photos. I will be posting my progress as we go along....8x12 graphite on paper

DO you ever sell you sketches? I'd consider purchasing this one. Also, how much are you asking for your beat-up jalopy in the field which is just a few posts before this sketch of Deception Pass? Let me know. Love the work - Jared

Birds in flight -- especially the seabirds like these that hover in the air currents -- can be so beautiful, and so hard to capture. This sketch is great. I'll Look forward to the painting!
Thanks Don! Coming up....=]
