HARBOR, BOAT, SEA GULLS, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING





The little boat was named "Gullible" and it seemed to be a fitting name when this flock of gulls found something tasty that was stored in the boat.

A wild feeding frenzy ensued. The air was filled with ear-piercing screeches as gulls vied for the best treat. I was painting at the edge of the harbor when this occurred, and I quickly painted this record of the experience.

The air seemed filled with a single massive blur of wings, and that's the feeling I tried to capture in this painting. Hope you like it.

SEA GULLS, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR BEACH PAINTING


"WARMIN’ UP FOR THE DAY"
5x7 INCH ORIGINAL PLEIN AIR
OIL PAINTING BY TOM BROWN
SOLD

If you follow this blog you’ll know that I am participating in the Huntington Beach Plein Air Invitational again this year. Dozens of gulls were clustered in the sand as I set up my easel yesterday, and I decided to paint these two as a warmup for the day’s painting.

I liked this painting so well that I decided to paint a slightly more involved piece for the official show. The opening reception is Friday, September 24 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the Huntington Beach Art Center.

If you’re in the area on stop by and say hello. Admission is free and there will be lots of wonderful plein air paintings on display.

Thanks for looking. Have a wonderful day. And if you’d like this painting for your home let me know: tombrownstudio@cox.net
