Underseascape



Was lucky to find a prescription mask in a second-hand shop, which made snorkeling a really different experience. Found out that if I tucked my keys into my suit so they didn't dangle, the fish would come closer.

This piece was done using a technique called "paper staining." Color is dropped onto a different sheet of paper on top that bleeds through onto the finished piece underneath. So there's a lack of control that is fun to watch as it grows. And since it was about being 'undersea', I thought it was appropriate for the subject matter.

Haven't posted in a long time, but I have been drawing here and there. Here's a little sketchy imagination, from sitting next to a tree.

What would it feel like to be a tree, if you had previously had the soul of a person?  You'd probably celebrate the sun, the moon and the stars if you had a chance to grow up in the tropics.
