"Cormorant"

"The 'cormorant' rests on pilings in the harbor.   Between forays into the water to catch its meal, it must stand and dry its feathers."


ARTIST COMMENT
A resting cormorant setting on a piling in the harbor of Brookings, Oregon, was a delightful subject to paint in soft pastel.  The challenge was to portray an almost black bird, silhouetted against a grey sky, and still infuse the painting with color.  The sky is fresh morning blue, contrasted with the aging moss covered piling.  Finally the touch of gold of the beak focuses attention to the center of interest, the lively gaze of the cormorant.   I chose 140#  hot pressed watercolor paper to allow me to paint feathers and other elements in great detail.
