SOLD #96 Cattle Point gulls

#96  Cattle Point gulls
6"x6" Acrylic on hardboard....$85CAD
I painted this from a reference photo I took while aimlessly walking around Cattle Point, Victoria, BC.  It was just after a big storm and the logs, that had been thrown around in the ocean waves  like matchsticks, were still unbleached from the sun.
