Daily Painting, Original Oil, Birds, "The Loner"

A wonderful bird is the pelican.........

His bill will hold more than his belly can.

He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week.........

But I'm damned if I see how the hell he can!

That is a little poem from my childhood days.  I lived in Ohio, my grandparents in Florida.  My grandmother had a postcard of a pelican that included that poem.  Florida seemed like a magical place to me then, and the poem stayed with me through the years.

Join me tomorrow for more of Pelican Week!

Wee Three - 6x10 Oil on Masonite - by Hickory Artist, Tina Calle

Wee Three was a still I painted from three miniature pumpkins set up in my kitchen under a lamp.

I chose a 6x10 inch size which was perfect for establishing an interesting composition.

Happy Halloween - 5x7 Oil on Masonite - Tina Calle, Hickory, NC artist

I love October. And on October 1st, we pull out all of the Halloween decorations. This little votive sits on my counter under the LED lights and gets lit up without a candle. I did this quick painting while helping a friend on her bigger painting. The people who have seen it love the feeling it evokes for October! Happy Halloween!
