Fishermen and boaters know the pelican well. Having received a free meal, the pelican will return day after day to accept someone’s gracious hospitality. In many marinas the pelican is as natural a sight as boats and sunshine.

Mike observes a pelican in hopes of capturing a gesture with outstretched wings and an open beak.

The piece is both elegant and accurate in its representation of the pelican.
