This is in response to the horrible disaster in the Gulf.
My heart goes out to all of the people and mostly the wildlife affected by this.
I wanted this piece to be a symbol of hope, and not sadness...perhaps a ripple of healthy Louisiana Brown Pelicans flying overhead in the near future.

Shirley, everything is moving with respect to such disasters very difficult to recover. And there is no distance between us, the planet is one and for all.
ReplyDeleteHere where I live, in the mountains of Cordoba, the constant struggle against pollution of rivers and lakes, never ends. An additional number of fires ignited by humans every year end up with thousands of hectares, very close to my house and it takes years to recover. But do not surrender. I congratulate you for your contribution.
Your watercolor is so delicate! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and perfect for the theme and the cause, lovely work Shirley!:0)
ReplyDeletebeautiful Shirley, I was thinking of pelicans myself
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Delicate treatment of a very important subject that, in my opinion, isn't getting the concern and headlines it deserves.
ReplyDeleteThese illustrations are so beautiful! It's heartbreaking whats happening in the Gulf. Shirley, you've captured the beauty of the wildlife, that will be changed as a result of this disaster. Lovely job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!The colours are perfect!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! Perfectly illustrated. Your rendition does indeed offer a Ripple of hope in the midst of this huge offense on God's creation.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful this is, Shirley. And what importance behind the message. I will definitely visit Kelly's blog. I have felt so helpless and seeing all the photos and newsreels of the animals in distress just leaves me in tears. Thank you for creating this lovely piece! :) Theresa
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Shirley! Nicely done! -Heather
ReplyDeleteOh Shirley, This is beautifully done! :) The gulf disaster is such a horrible situation and just makes me sad. Thank you so much for sharing the site, I will definitely contribute :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Shirley, this is so beautifully delicate. Lovely shadows in the water. I can't get pelicans out of my mind, either. The image of them slathered in goo and being brushed down with Dawn is forever in my mind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece!
beautifully thoughtful...
ReplyDeletei saw Sierra's panting too!
i'd like to meet your faeries someday, maybe they could teach me how to paint :D
Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteShirley, these are beautiful. Such haunting images of pelicans, dolphins and other sea birds. Also the marshes and swamps are the source of life for most of these creatures and they are being destroyed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I am in a dream ... :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, on so many levels - the shadows are wonderful! (in a haunting sort of way...)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, very sober, it represents the right feeling to the disaster.
ReplyDeleteShirley these are splendid pieces! Wow! You are so talented. God bless you for giving of your time and talents for a great cause. You have been very busy I see. I'll have to stop by your Group and say hi. You Alice is precious. She does have a bit of Disney in her :o). I really liked the new movie... especially the 3D! Thanks for stopping by. I always look forward to your kind and encouraging words.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I've always been a fan of watercolor well done, probably above all other media. Very nice!
