I got the subject from an Emily Lex painting book called Autumn.

This is the beginning of a new book that I’m making to teach people how to paint. One page will have instructions. The other page will have the pencil drawing, and then the pencil drawing can be painted over to make the pelican. Some things I have in mind are Long Beach WA, coastal, farmers market, gourds, and location based collections. Thinking 10-12 per book. More to come!

You called and said I have not changed, but I didn't know I was supposed to. Couldn't get it through my mind that you didn't love me how I was.
