Life lessons from a gull

The gull can be seen as a symbol of creativity, following a dream and believing in yourself.  The inspiration for this painting was to create a subtle visual reminder for me to do the same.
In Richard Bach's book, young Jonathan Livingston Seagull teaches others in his flock the importance of expressing individuality and following your own path. A creed for life as an artist perhaps?
