Audubon-ish Pelican

I LOVE the colors in this one - and the crazy, palette knife strokes. I painted this one fast, but I remember praying really hard as I worked on this one. Sometimes I can really feel the presence of God when I paint, and this one is proof: it's both precise (when I don't feel the presence of God and forge ahead, my paintings can get way out of control) and free. I loved painting this bird inspired both by Audubon's Pelican and my favorite place - Key West.
