So, we were walking our usual route along the beach trying to get the required 3.5 miles in so we won’t die any time soon. Late afternoon light, a pile of beach rocks, scattered shells and a bit of last year’s bull kelp. Then a family of black turnstones drifted by, twittering as they usually do, and when they all landed, it was as if they just vanished. That dark checkered pattern is so like beach stones as to be, well, beach stones. The entire scene felt like it was glowing, both warm and cool at the same time.

 

At first, I thought I’d put the turnstones in here as a group on the beach, but then they’d just disappear – so, I placed one as it begins to land. I suspect they’ve evolved these flight colors so they can see each other in flight, but once stationary, they need camo (which they sure have).

This ORIGINAL painting is varnished acrylic on birch board 22″ x 28″ and is going in an upcoming gallery show. But, it’s available here without the gallery commission for $1100.
A custom frame is available, as usual, and shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame. This is the original painting, NOT a print.

Thanks for reading this week.
