Here he is .. now swathed in his watery watercolor layers..
I have felt such a connection to this piece that I had resisted getting to the watercolor as I had so enjoyed my humpback friend even in the early stages as seen here.. in a previous post.
but I am so happy with the result.. painting this was such a beautiful experience ' almost a spiritual journey' .. I feel like I had celestial company alongside my brush.
This is the first in my new series titled -'Sacred Ocean'
'Humpback'
8.5 x 11 inches
Watercolor
Hotpress 140 lb
I hope you can get a sense of the sacred connection I was feeling for this gentle giant as he appeared on my paper...
