'Sentinel' | Western Gull | 12 x 9 | acrylic on board (available)
The reference for this fence is an old split-rail fence from Pt.
Reyes (Northern California) that we saw at sunset one day while hiking.
The vertical cropping reminded me of a Chinese character, which created a quiet, peaceful mood for me. But the solidity of the fence also provided strength and grounding, making me think about a soldier walking on a parapet, standing guard.
So this idea emerged, of a gull standing quietly, keeping watch over his domain.
