“Three’s a Crowd”

They say, “two’s company, three’s a crowd,” but at Gallery One this month good
things can also come in threes. The old proverb (dating back to the 1600s), is
typically used in circumstances where a third person is not welcome when two
people (perhaps lovers) want to be alone with each other. We see this in artist,
Cindy Beyer’s pastel, “Beat it Bubby,” as Cindy describes the scene, “Marco Island
is the perfect spot for Pelican watching.  It took me some time to get close to these
big birds on the rocks.  I had a brief moment to shoot them before they flew off. 
For our theme, “three's a crowd,” I thought it would be fun to paint one flying away
after being pushed off the rock as if the other two said, "Beat it Bubby, this seats
taken.” And in Joyce Condry’s acrylic painting, “No Vacancy,” in which we have a
triad of pelicans evicting an interloper, "I'm sorry but we are fully booked.  You
might try the pier next door.”
