The majesty of gulls is most admired while watching them soar and glide on the updrafts and downdrafts of wind currents. In this painting, I am looking at a world through the eyes of the birds as they float and flap their way far above the rough waves licking powerfully up and over the black lava rocks of the shoreline of the Pacific Rim of Vancouver Island. The blazing glory of the burning sunset makes a dynamic backdrop for the sleek whiteness of the flying gulls. What a visual contrast to the usual images of these birds pecking away in garbage dumps and picnic baskets in our human world. What a change to the emotional human response to the birds when one can plant an image of the Gull in its natural habitation.

""My paintings, which are done in series, are an attempt to show beautiful locations whose natural integrity has either been altered by human intervention or is about to be. What is the cost of our imposition on the virginal status of these lands and the inhabitants therein?""
