One quiet Saturday afternoon, I was walking along the beach when I spotted one of my favourite locals—Blue Bill, the pelican with the gray feathers, black-tipped wings, a sunshine-yellow head, and of course, that unmistakable blue bill. He was gliding effortlessly over the water, skimming the surface as if he owned the Gulf. I snapped a photo just as he swooped by, and later that day, I turned it into his portrait. True to form, Blue Bill landed beside me afterward, gave me a knowing look, and reminded me to send him a copy when it was finished. So I did.
If you’re interested in a print of this painting or photograph, I’d love to hear from you. You can call, text, or email me at mpower@osolomailo.com. I offer a selection of standard prints, and I’m also happy to create a custom painting of your favorite bird, beach scene, or special location. Let’s make something beautiful together.
