The Story Behind the Canvas
Our pelicans here tend to wear rather muted colors, but I wanted to reimagine one through a more playful lens. Using a rich purple palette brought out a whimsical side of this familiar bird — and it was such fun to paint.
Purple Pelican is a playful exploration of color and personality, turning a common bird into something bold, unexpected, and full of life.
