I am torn between the beauty and grace of the seagull along the Lake Michigan coastline, and their intrusiveness when it comes to wishing to snatch away my lunch.   One time I was painting at Laguna Beach and glanced down to see a gull half inside of my granola bag happily snacking away.   I decided to portray these excellent fishermen among the rocks and seashore searching for stunned fish caught up in the tide!    This is a high key painting that really shines in a room that lacks natural light.
