A Wonderful Bird is the Pelican

And now for something completely different.....a watercolor!  I haven't posted any watercolors on my blogs before, but I did this in my watercolor class, and didn't have time to come home and do an oil painting too.  So this is my daily painting for the 30-in-30 challenge.  It's 6"x6".

P.S. For those who don't know the marvelous limerick that the title comes from, here it is, written by Dixon Lanier Merritt (1879–1972):
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!
