In a fog, part 3.

I finished this painting today, signed my name and photographed it. I will post it on my home page in the near future. I'm satisfied with the way it turned out, the gull certainly takes center stage, the background serves to support his image. Originally when I was considering this painting I thought of leaving the "droppings" out, to make the rocks clean and "sanitary." But that's not being honest. To do that would be altering the real world the gulls live in, this is very much a part of their environment. These large rocks serve as perches for just such activity...to scream at anything and everything that needs to be screamed or yelled at. Castine is in Maine, the lighthouse is on the edge of the village. The gulls scream and yell there too.
