Seagull

SEAGULL Acrylic on Wood Panel | 18" × 18" | 2022

Completely unbothered. Absolutely magnificent.

Seagull catches a herring gull at the moment of landing or leaving — wings fully extended, legs dropped, the whole bird suspended in that instant of maximum effort that looks, from the outside, completely effortless. The sky behind is the deep, moving blue of a coastal day when the wind is doing something interesting — painted in loose, expressive sweeps of cobalt and white that give the background the quality of actual weather, actual air, actual salt.

The gull itself is painted with genuine attention and genuine affection — the grey-green of the body, the black wingtips, the yellow eye that regards the world with the magnificent indifference of a creature that has decided it owns every beach it has ever visited and is correct about this. Paint drips at the lower canvas like sea spray or the tide or simply paint being honest about what it is.

This is a painting for anyone who loves the coast, who has ever watched a seagull wheel against a blue sky and understood instinctively that it was having a considerably better time than everyone below it.

Seagull. Unbothered. Magnificent. Completely its own.
