That “the pelican is a wonderful bird and his bill can hold more than his belly can” is TRUE!

The California brown pelican can hold about three gallons in its bill and one gallon in its belly. But it is NOT true that this bird painting is on barn wood. The canvas is faux painted to just look like wood.

This will be a fun program as we paint this handsome bird who is such a familiar sight in Southwest Florida. The brown pelican in the picture is a mature fellow. The juvenile form has a brown head.

Learn to paint faux wood, feathers, the sea and the sky with Jackie. You will find her a great teacher.
