Inspiration: "Sea Sights" is a
record of sights and ocean experiences. We spend a lot of time on the
water in our sailboat. On log trips, we encounter a lot of sea life.
I like to draw the clouds at sunrise and photograph the changing textures on
the surface of the water. Last year, I made a drawing of our boat on
the ocean, as it appears when you are aboard, looking out, on "watch."
From the boat, you see the horizon as a circle all around you, as if you
were in the center of a large bowl of ocean with little boats going by off
in the distance. You are always the center of your universe on
the sea. |
