A pelican glides low over still, shimmering water in this loose watercolour. Soft washes of ultramarine and pale violet bleed into one another, while luminous white highlights trace the spread wings and pouch. A few wet translucent strokes suggest the water's glassy surface, keeping the scene airy, calm and full of quiet coastal light.
