California Seabird Snacks in Seaweed - Archival Print of original ink drawing

Description

Pen-and-ink, hand-drawn Pacific sea bird, a Sanderling, archival print signed and dated by the artist. Inspired during my 2007 seashell series.

**First image is zoomed in. Second image is full print.**

Picture this: I'm at the beach during a winter month -- but it's southern CA, so it's barely sweater weather. Hardly anyone around, and I have an intense need to draw these little scurrying birds who run toward the water as the tide recedes and poke their beaks into the sand for sand crabs. When the swell returns, they run toward me with my little point-and-shoot, and I'm sure they think, "E-gad!" because they jolt left and high-tail it faster than you can imagine down the beach. I'm left with a bunch of blurry photos of birds and a couple bystanders laughing at the crazy bird lady. Anyway, this tiny bird stood still for me. Something yummy in that tangle of seaweed.
