The Seagull Story

My ‘Seagull Range’ started one day when I had finished a painting and I found I still had a lot of blue paint left on my palette. I found two small-ish canvases and painted them both blue. This particular blue is my favourite colour. I even got married in this colour!

I decided to paint a picture of a seagull (Herring Gull). When I had finished him  I decided his expression was rather quizzical as if he was saying “Who Me?”

I thought he needs an answer to that question, so I painted “Yes You!”

Later that day we had  friends coming over for dinner.

I had left the two pictures standing in the room, and several of my guests commented on them suggesting that I might be onto something. “The rest, as they say, is history.”
