"Landing Patterns" 20x26" watercolor by Paul Jackson


We sat on the jetty at the end of the runway on Orcas Island to watch sunset. Every 15 minutes or so the antique bi-plane would land after a quick aerial tour. Each time he would approach the runway the seagull would take off and race the plane to a landing. It appeared to be a competition for dominance of the airspace. Turned out to be an awesome sunset and a fantastic memory.

Finally I found a couple of weeks to paint in my studio!

Good one Paul, I know who won the competition, the seagull has the freedom
