sea - gueule. X-post from the watercolour gallery

[aboulafia]

This watercolour is an attempt to paint a seagull.
The title is an attempt to make a French- English joke : it sounds like seagull but gueule may signify "funny face" and also the French verb "gueuler" means something like shouting loud.
This is supposed to be the joke ... not sure it is a good one.

Your bird is lovely. I don't get the joke though :confused:

I love your gull, even if he is French!! (Just kidding.) You've captured that curious, smart look they always have.

The colors and the way they blend together are beautiful, very nice!

thank you all. This bird is not french. If he were, he would be blue - white- red and sing "la marseillaise".
