Most seascape paintings are of soft calming waves, or long stretches of white sandy beaches, however ‘Pelicans at Seal Rookery’ shows you the other side of the sea – the rough and unforgiving side which many of us like to pretend isn’t there when we are enjoying a day at the beach with our friends and family.

‘Pelicans’ shows the powerful waves and the white foaming breakers which have rushed in across the shore and covered the rocky reef below. There isn’t even a glimpse of the sky; instead the focus of this seascape painting is the majesty and the power of the ocean.

But while we don’t like to worry about the power the ocean and its angry waves could have on us if we were left alone with them, the pelicans in the painting are seeking out the waves to use their energy and their power to enjoy a day on the water, surfing the currents thrown up by the out of control waves.

And wouldn’t this seascape painting make the perfect wall art display for your office? While you wouldn’t go out and take on these waves, everyday in business you go out and take on the big guys, because you can. Sometimes you get tossed around by something you didn’t see coming, something out of your control, but you’re in it as much for the thrill of the ride, as you are for the success your risks and determination bring your way.

And don’t you do it just a little bit to show those people who doubted you how wrong they were? While there are other businesses who wouldn’t take on the challenges and the clients you have, there are also lesser birds who would shy away from the power and force of the waves and wait for a calmer day to enjoy the ocean.

But the pelicans are out there anyway, because they can be, and while the colours and textures used in this seascape painting mean that at first glance you don’t notice the pelicans amongst the waves, when you look closer, there they are and you can see that their power and confidence matches that of the waves they are taking on.
