Painting Percy the Pelican
So as a final 'Percy the pelican' painting I painted the 'Pelican promontary Wars', a bloody battle
between the red beaks and yellow beaks that all started over the fishing rights to the pilchard
grounds. You might observe the feathers in the water and one of the redbeaks lost to the deep
with only feet showing. That courageous bird Percy was in the van, and was one of the first to
break the battle line of the opposition. Though wounded he quiclky recovered and spent many
an hour on the local shore scratching lines in the sand pointing out to all his mates how exactly
the battle progressed, and how the great victory for the yellow beaks was won.All but the last of the series are being made into prints. The last was done mostly for the benefit
of the Cowdisley readers.Advanced lesson menu
