Diane Mannion, Royal Terns, 6x6" oil on Gessobord
This Royal Tern family was on Englewood Beach yesterday squawking along with the folks cheering for the nearby triathlon racers. Painted them because I loved the way the sunlight glimmered on their beaks! (Never know what will spark a painting idea with me.) Always found these birds amusing, the black feather tufts on their heads remind me of toupees. I think the bird on the right was the big baby of the family... the headpiece was still developing.
