‘Poppy the Pelican’
Created during a stay on the shores of Corlette at Anchorage Hotel & Spa, this work captures a moment of quiet observation. From the balcony, the artist watched as a pelican landed upon the wooden wharf — a commanding and graceful presence against the coastal stillness.
That fleeting moment became the inspiration for Poppy, a portrait that reflects both strength and serenity.
Grand in stature, the pelican is rendered in layered watercolour, with delicate accents of gold leaf that catch the light, echoing the shimmer of the surrounding water.
