A Pelican’s Trust Within the Roaring Blue

Original oil painting on gallery wrap canvas, "A Pelican’s Trust Within the Roaring Blue." At 12 by 12 inches and 1.5 deep, this piece captures a pelican caught in full flight. Its wings spread wide, its vibrant orange beak a sharp contrast against the moving blues and golds of sky and sea. This bird embodies determination and faith: the quiet courage to dive into life’s challenges and the trust to keep moving forward, no matter the strength of the waves below. 

Through layered glazes and textured strokes, I aimed to bring the ocean’s power into the painting with its energy shaping the pelican’s strength and resilience. This work is a reminder that endurance and love often require stepping boldly into the unknown, trusting that the flow beneath us will support the journey. I hope it encourages you to hold that same trust as you face your own challenges and embrace each moment with confidence.
