Silenced Laughter


Every year the laughing gulls appear here in South Jersey around April. I love their laughing squawk. For me it is a harbringer of summer and days on the beach. Hearing it affects me like a beloved old song. Someone hit this poor thing in the alley behind the flower shop this morning. I carefully brought it home and did this quick sketch in oil. 16x20 canvas
