Art: Where's He Going? by Artist Carol Thompson

The lead Caspian tern seems to be saying;  Where's He Going?

Artist comment:  I have painted ocean scenes with seagulls and pelicans for many years.  I noticed Caspian terns beginning to appear on the Washington and Oregon beaches.  Their unique coloring and streamlined design make them very paintable.  When they take off they flock together in a tight group.  That is why when I saw one going the opposite direction, it was a painting waiting to happen.  This is an oil painting on canvas with the background loosely rendered to depict sky and sand dunes.  I painted the Caspian terns in different wing configurations to create variety to the scene.
