Studying Seagulls

Study of Gull
Watercolor, 8 in. x 6 in.

I did a preliminary drawing of a seagull from life, then I painted a watercolor. A few gulls stayed fairly close to my chair while I studied them. They stood fairly still while they groomed themselves and took short naps.

Water's Edge
Watercolor, 8 in. x 6 in.

I arrived at the edge of the water early on a cool, cloudy morning and painted this group: some gulls, a willet, a plover, and a tern.
