A PILE OF PELICANS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RHONDA

This painting was purchased by Rhonda's husband Terry (my first cousin) for her birthday.

The inspiration

The story

Olin and I were in the motor boat passing under the Turner's Creek bridge and there were all these pelicans lined up on the bridge pilings.  Of course I made Olin ride by about 20 times to take hundreds of photos just for good measure.  I got this from my dad.  Each time we rode by their heads followed us.  It was such a site.  I painted the painting from several of the photos.  I am very proud to have the painting in their home.
