Happy Last-Week-of-Summer








This is really the only painting I've finished all summer. No I take that back. I took a watercolor class and have a few smallish paintings. I'll post them tomorrow, maybe. This is named "The Call". The background has parts of the poem by Christopher Marlowe that start "Come live with me and be my love..." Sorry, I don't even know the correct name of the poem, but I like it, and find myself rolling those words around in my mouth sometimes.

This is of course based on the brown pelicans we saw in Galveston. I'm a little disappointed with this one. It's been finished for probably two months, but I only photographed it this morning. Guess that means I have no plans to rework it. Moving on.
