Niagara Falls Sentinel

I completed this painting this week for a miniature show in Nags Head, North Carolina. http://www.seasideart.com/EventDetails.aspx?id=22. It is 4 x 5 inches painted in Acrylic and titled "Niagara Falls Sentinel". My plan is to do a life-sized painting of this same bird at some point. I have a lot of photos of him, some really interesting ones of him calling loudly when I got too close.
My husband had a hard time trying to figure out what held my interest so long but I couldn't resist the perfect light from the early morning sunrise. Gorgeous!
