![Algonquin Gull](http://www.kathyguenkelfineart.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_3214-copy-300x234.jpg)
This was painted from a picture taken last fall in Algonquin Park. For the longest time, I sat and watched as this large herring gull and it’s ‘double’ floated serenely across the scene like a living statue. An instant later it unfolded it’s powerful wings and gracefully lifted off into a cloudless sky. Barely any splash. Great moment. Had to paint it. Still makes me smile.
