SEAGULL $1600

Anyone who has visited our beautiful South African coastline will have encountered our audacious and confident Seagulls. They have no problem dive bombing your hot chips or sandwiches. But part of the fun is throwing them a hot chip (french fry) and watching their effortless skill catching it in mid air. The original thought was to capture a few seagulls and chips, filling the canvas with chaotic energy, but I thought I'd capture this singular focus. Bird and chip. A single golden treasure in mid air. I also originally painted a detailed hot chip but the comic representation stole from the elegance and detail of the bird, so I changed the feel to have more of a fine art, mature angle, allowing the seagull to take all the glory. Overall, It also represents a good day out! Something that most locals and tourists have had the pleasure of experiencing.
