Sea of Cortez
In January we took an "un-cruise" to Mexico's Sea of Cortez. Somehow, inbetween snorkeling, walking, kayaking, and fine dining, I managed to get in some painting from our lovely ship, the Safari Endeavour. The vast landscape and the constant floating back-and-forth of the boat led me to this long panoramic format. I really had no choice...I'd be looking at one area, and gradually the boat would move...and I'd be looking at something else! So I figured I'd just work it in. I ended up really enjoying this format. I hope you enjoy some of the warmth, joy, and bounty of the Sea of Cortez as you look at these, and consider visiting yourself! Teeming with life, it is impossible to feel alone or important.
Technical notes: These are quickly sketched in pencil, painted in watercolor, then inked with my trusty Namiki fountain pen and Noodler's black ink; total working time is about 2.5 hours each. Originals are approximately 4.5 x 11 inches.
