Soaring Seagull

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Kilimanjaro paper with limited palette of ultramarine and Prussian blues, quinacridone burnt orange and gold, and raw umber.  This gull was done today from one of many shore bird photos taken thru the years.  I see them soaring overheard from my office window every day on their way to Comanche Trail lake nearby.  The sky is today's mix of clouds, sun, storms brewing, etc.
