The Black Skimmer

I began a new painting this week entitled "The Black Skimmer". It is inspired by my uncle Charles Jordan's photographs of Black Skimmer birds along the Biloxi, MS gulf coast. The painting is on canvas with acrylics and measure 20X24. I am incorporating a mix of different mediums (e.g., sand, glass beads, and extra heavy gel) to provide texture and depth.
