Under the Sea Series

In my art class a few years ago, I did a series of watercolors around the theme of underwater creatures and scenes.  Some were more successful than others, and some have been sold.  Here I've posted pics of just my favorite unsold items.

Whale Tart.  18x22 (?) watercolor, currently hanging at the Turn the Page Press bookstore in downtown Roseville. $200 with mat (gray, as shown).  This painting was inspired by a passage in Moby-Dick, describing the whaling boats as "tarts" for the angry sperm whales to smash and eat.

Kelp Dance.  13x23 watercolor.  $150.  This painting started as simply a painting of kelp attachments, but dancing figures emerged as I drew.

Octopus's Garden.  10x21 watercolor.  $100.
