On a recent trip to the beach I took time off from sun and surf to wander around the picturesque beach town of Beaufort, NC with my camera in tow. It so happened that there was a bit of activity at the docks, with a boat show going on. I took this picture along with several others that day. Once home I could not wait to put some of those scenes on canvas. Glad the bird posed so nicely for this picture. He seemed oblivious to the activity behind him.
I used a hot magenta acrylic paint as a base coat for this painting. It was a hot day, thus hot magenta seemed like a good color choice. I like to have a bit of the underpainting to show thru.
