When I saw a group of gulls napping on the beach, I thought of my father. My father loved "seagulls."  He also loved to nap. And he was proud to live in California. So what better tribute to my father than to paint a picture of napping California Gulls?

My father was a long-time member of the Nature Conservancy. He was also proud to say he was a card-carrying member of the ACLU. So, in addition to my conservation pledge of 50% to the Nature Conservancy, I also pledge 50% to the ACLU. All I want from the purchase of this painting is shipping and handling charges. The rest will be donated.
