Nothing Doing!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Captivating Moment of Nature's Grace by Lawson Wood (1907-1994) In this enchanting illustration by Lawson Wood titled "Nothing Doing!", we witness a pelican in the midst of a humorous yet quintessential moment in the natural world. The pelican, with its distinctive pouch under its beak, has successfully caught a fish and is about to swallow it whole. However, the size of the fish seems to be a challenge for the bird, causing it to pause and tilt its head, as if contemplating the task at hand. The pelican, a majestic and iconic bird, is a master of the art of fishing. With its large beak, it scoops up fish from the water and drains the water from its pouch before swallowing the catch. In this moment, Wood captures the essence of the pelican's unique hunting technique and the playful nature of the bird. The vibrant colors and intricate details in the illustration bring the scene to life, making it a delightful addition to any nature-inspired collection. The water shimmers with reflections of the surrounding foliage, and the pelican's feathers appear soft and textured. The fish, with its scales and fins, adds a touch of realism to the otherwise whimsical scene. "Nothing Doing!" is a testament to Wood's exceptional talent as an illustrator and his ability to capture the beauty and humor of the natural world. This timeless piece invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the grace and elegance of the creatures that inhabit it. Whether hung in a home or office, this print is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates the wonders of the natural world.
