I've painted this particular spot several times and will likely paint it many more. Summer mornings are especially beautiful, filled with geese loudly conversing and the river coming to life. The pelicans are a magnet for me, so beautiful and clumsy at the same time. When kayaking I can never resist gliding in close to their pelican club, sure that this time they will let me hang out and take pictures as long as I stay quiet. But they never do. They start looking uncomfortable and then all those 9 foot wingspans gather noisy lift and off they go.
