Description
A lone shell drawn in sepia brown ink on a tattered and distressed background. This coastal seashell drawing looks as if it were an antique illustration from an explorers journal, or maybe it's just a fancy doodle by a curious pirate. :)
Actually...
My visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium continues to infuse my imagination... This classy seashell appeared in my sketchbook one evening as I pondered all the wonderful creatures that filled the aquarium. It's such an incredible world that lives beneath the waves.... these watery thoughts keep floating through my mind... Hmmm :) I love it when a theme invades my imagination like this and brews lovely little gems of creativity.
I love how the ocean has ancient ties to human history and how important a role it has played throughout it. This distressed version of my seashell drawing is a nod to times past where curious artists were the on the front lines of scientific exploration and documentation. Drawings like this one may have populated the tattered, well-traveled pages of an adventurer's journal. :)
Thanks for looking!
