Pellicose – Original

From Wendy's paintbrush comes the magic of just being close enough to see the personality. Close enough to feel the presence of the animal. He knows something. He's just not telling you what. Pellicose is a pelican portrait so close, so immediate, so utterly present that you half expect him to lean the rest of the way out of the canvas and help himself to your lunch.

The ruffled white and grey feathers catch the light beautifully against a clear Australian sky blue. At his chest, golden-bronze plumage fans out in loose, wild strokes, sun-warmed and salt-weathered, exactly as a pelican should be.

Close enough that you stop seeing a bird and start seeing a character. Pellicose has character in abundance. Dignified. Unhurried. Mildly suspicious of your intentions. This is an original. There is only one, and he's looking right at you.
