The Argument

I love sea gulls. Our Bahamian variety of "Laughing Gulls" really have personality. They are just about as "Bahamian" as all of us.

Can we learn life lessons from these mischievous, fun-loving birds? Absolutely. I learned a lot from this image that I captured and rendered as a pastel painting entitled "The Argument". A gull swoops in from the far right to pick a fight, and his opponent responds. But the little fellow in the foreground has the presence of mind to walk away with his beak shut. And so should we!

The soft colours in this pastel hint to us that whatever maybe going on around us, we can still have peace; peace within ourselves and peace with others. A powerful lesson to learn from Laughing Gulls.
