Illustration Friday - Silent

The topic for my Illustration group ( Illustration Friday) , this week is  'Silent'..

this reminded me of a a painting I did last year called 'Silent Navigator'..

you can view this post here..

this was actually my first whale painting..I had forgotten about it as I have been so excited over my latest watercolor version.

I apologize to my regular followers who have seen this one this week already.. but I really love the idea of re -presenting to the Illustration Friday group the NEW silent one a year later..

I really love whales.. the silent giants of the ocean..  this is the first of my 'Sacred Ocean' series.      
I'm feeling a Sperm Whale or Blue Whale coming next..


Thanks for visiting.. Sending you some whale love for your weekend.. !

Illustration Friday - Watercolor fish..

I'm joining in on this weeks theme - 'Obsession ' for Illustration Friday

It's all about fish for me at the moment... this little guy was inspired by yesterdays post 'Fish..paintings and metal sculptures'...    My little steampunk influenced version....
