Pelican on a Piling – by Martha Dodd

“Pelican on a Piling” is a 6 x 6 inch one-of-a-kind original oil painting on panel with 3/4 inch wood sides. Framed to 8 x 8 inches in a black floating frame, ready to hang.

The artwork is a detailed and textured painting of a pelican perched on a post. The pelican’s large beak is prominently featured with shades of orange and yellow, complementing the yellow patch of feathers on its head. The bird’s body showcases a variety of grey and white tones, rendered with a feathery texture that gives a sense of softness and dimension. The background is dark, providing strong contrast that highlights the pelican’s intricate details and vibrant colors. The post beneath the pelican is painted in muted greens and browns, grounding the composition and adding a subtle structural element.
