More seahorses

The second in the new seahorse series is finished! My new little guy is more photogenic than his hide&seek friends. (Fan coral is VERY hard to paint. Look it up on the internet.) I really enjoyed painting this set. If I ever do get to see the ocean I wouldn't mind looking for some of these beauties in the wild. If you want them to come live at your house please check them out on my Etsy site.

Hide & Seek Seahorses

Inspired by my sale of the first cutie seahorse, I began two seahorse paintings. This is the larger, fun one. A hide & seek painting is challenging because the background is painted first, then I have to figure out where the seahorses are hiding, then paint them in. Normal paintings are sketched and planned out before brush hits canvas.

Hide & Seek Seahorses 8 x10 acrylic.
Wait for it on Etsy for a picture with no glare.

Drawing @GPAC

It's Fall Break which means I must be drawing in the garden at Garfield Park. This drawing is nothing amazing but the time spent doing it felt great. I hope you all have a getaway spot.
