Original.  My studio is very near the water, therefore, these guys are flying overhead and outside my window constantly.  I could paint them all day long.  There was a time when ducks, mallards specifically, used to visit our garden.  They eventually made a nest and we observed them as their 9 nine chicks hatched.  Then, the next day, they marched out the garden door.  Towards the Thames.  They used us for bed and breakfast.  Then split.  However, they brought us many hours of entertainment, so, no bad juju going on.  They have personalities, they are monogmous, territorial and protective of whoever they decide to mate with.  In comparison, the seagulls have personalities of cardboard.  Do you care.  The seagull is nice, even better in person, and ideal as an oil painting or charcoal painting, which this one is.  Buy it.


This is an original work of art by California artist, Nancy Tokos, member American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.  Oil on gesso'd masonite.  Safely packaged and ready to frame but please allow 1-5 days for shipping.  Seascapes are very handsome in a wooden frame, my favorite is barnwood found at Frame USA http://www.frameusa.com/.

* colors may vary slightly between the actual painting and the image on your computer due to my digital camera settings, time of day the photogrsph is taken and the monitor you are looking at right now. *

Original.  We live minutes from the beach so I would be quite crazy not to walk the beach as often as possible.  I take pictures with my little Canon Elph.  I'm sure if I ever read the instruction booklet,  the camera would do amazing things.  But for now, it's great reference for future paintings.  What my other camera has not done, is accurately captured the lovely orange highlites on the breasts of the birds.  They were very amusing, ambitiously pecking everything small that moved and then running from the water as it washed under their feet, or their three clawed toes.  Whatever they are called ...
