12 Bird Challenge: Pelican

The Shy Pelican
Watercolor & Ink on paper, mounted 11x14"

He's a little timid at first, but he really livens up once you get to know him.  In fact, he's got quite a quirky personality, as you can most likely tell.  I think he and I would be good friends if, you know, he could actually waddle around and speak in human terms.  But there I go again, pretending animals can speak! ;)

*This painting is part of a 12 Bird Challenge running from now until March 22nd.  All paintings will be for sale on the 25th.
