 Title: "Pelican Preening" (Scientific Name: Pelecanus conspicillatus) ARTIST'S STATEMENT The subtle changing blues of the water create a calm emotion to this nature image. The bird is seen observing his own reflected beauty as his body and neck creating graceful curves and shapes as he preens himself at the end of a long day. This is a portrait of an Australian pelican (Scientific Name: Pelecanus conspicillatus) which is one of the eight species of pelican in the world. These birds are huge with a wing span of two meters and weighing up to eight kilograms. The male and female look similar with the female being slightly smaller. The pouch under their beak can hold up to fifteen litres of water and is used to scoop fish from the water, the slightly opened bill is then tilted to drain the water away, trapping the fish. The beginning of breeding season will see the front area of this pouch go bright red. These birds are an occasional visitor to the river near my home and a familiar sight around the popular lake areas in the Hunter Valley. Pelicans from this area seem calm birds who don’t mind people walking close by to observe. ORIGINAL ARTIST PRINTS Printed on high quality 240gm 100% cotton, acid-free, archival, fine art paper. A3 size (29.7 x 42cm). These prints are the artwork's original physical form, NOT reproductions. This is an original art work which was created digitally, through painting by hand with an electronic pen on a digital drawing tablet, directly with a computer. The process of creating an art image digitally restricts the physical presentation of the artwork to printed form. So like wood blocks, etchings, screen printing and photography, it is not possible to have any other physical representation. Each print comes with a signed certificate of Authenticity directly from the artist along with a written artist statement about the image that you are purchasing. MATERIAL QUALITY Includes a signed certificate of authenticity which incorporates an artist statement, along with a short artist bio and an information sheet about preserving art on paper. Posted flat, sandwiched between thick cardboard so that it will NOT be rolled or creased. View our eBay information guide about how to care for and preserve artwork on paper!
