Seagull #4 with Reflection

Ok..... so I think I'm done with the Seagulls for now. I actually was going to go with it for a couple of more, but have changed my mind! On to "something... entirely different"! I'm not sure what, but I will come up with a plan before the night is finished. This is an 8x10 of a seagull standing in the ocean shallows. Wow! What I would give for a cool shallow ocean wave to hit my feet right now! The high temps are getting out of hand here in Oklahoma....112 today. This is my first attempt at a reflection in water. It was fun. I guess the key is to really blur up the reflection. As always, I am thankful for this wonderful thing called "Painting". Such a nice escape and way to express God's beauty and praise to Him.

James1:22
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it - not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it - they will be blessed in what they do."
