‘Residents of Eastern Egg Rock, Puffin & Hooded Gull, 8 x 10 Watercolor

I have completed three 8 x 10 Watercolors of Seabirds. Two are of Puffins and the other of the Common Eider, Sea duck. I noticed a call to artists from the Project Puffin. They are going to have a Summer Exhibit of the art and 50% of sales goes to the Puffin Project. This project reintroduced the Puffin to Eastern Egg Rock and Seal Island off the coast of Maine. I was there in the beginning of launching this program. I was one of the founding members of a Wildlife Carving and Art Association, The Penobscot Bay Carvers and Artists Association, who carved Decoys for this project. Many of the Wildlife Carvers created Puffin decoys for this project in it’s beginning to reintroduce the Puffin to the Maine waters. So I feel very honored to have been there to watch those Decoys being carved and painted to be placed out on the small Rocky Islands off the coast of Maine.Last Summer I was fortunate enough to go out on a boat tour to Eastern Egg Rock and see the Puffins first hand! I have a lot of photographs from that trip. When I saw the call to artists, I just had to create some works for this project! I feel very connected to the Puffins who live out there.
