A Cape petrel playing in the waves.

The Cape petrel is a common seabird from the southern hemisphere easily identifiable with its contrasted "painted" black and white plumage. When fully grown, their wings span 34" and they are around 15" long. Their diet is mostly crustaceans which they obtain by surface seizing as well as diving under water and filtering them out. That is why they have what is called a salt gland (situated above the nasal passage) that helps  desalinate their bodies.

Framed and ready to hang.

Created with the finest professional archival materials (Liquitex Professional Heavy Body acrylics on linen canvas) and sprayed with acrylic UV varnish to protect the surface and to increase the longevity of the artwork. When choosing the perfect spot to hang your painting, keep in mind that it needs to be away from any heat source, in a place of relatively stable and reasonable humidity and not in direct sunlight. Acrylics paintings are meant to have a long life, with reasonable care yours can be treasured for generations!

Watermarks do not appear on the actual artwork, they are just here to protect Morgane's images which, unfortunately, are frequently stolen or used without permission. Thank you for your understanding.
