This painting is based on a photograph of a brown pelican that the artist took in a marina somewhere along Florida's Atlantic coast. I liked the way his belly sort of hung over the edge. The clutter from the marina was left out of the painting in hopes that the viewer will focus on the bird. The original is framed with a light blue mat and an antique gold frame. The image is approximately 12x16 (landscape) and the frame outside dimensions are approximately 18 x 22.

After retiring from an engineering career in 2009, Joe's attention turned to art, beginning with pencil drawings and then pastel and watercolor paintings. He especially enjoys the beauty and human interest found in everyday New England scenes, as well as the challenge of commission work, the challenge of capturing a client's idea in an artistic way. Joe's engineering and drawing background has proved to be a strength, resulting in many awards in local art shows and acceptance in nationally recognized exhibits. He is a member of several Connecticut and Massachusetts art organizations. He gives demonstrations at art club meetings, leads watercolor workshops, and is an instructor for watercolor classes.
