I had a rather thrilling experience as I was flipping through my phone’s photos to find the reference photo for this drawing. I saw a photo I had taken of the half-finished drawing and thought for a few moments that it was the original. Hyperrealism is seldom, if ever, my goal, but to have successfully conveyed something so elusive is deeply satisfying. I have learned a lot about water through this process.
This was what I worked on on Wednesday and Thursday, and it is now finished.

Regarding “Ocean”: There is an artist’s exhibit at CSMA on the theme of “water”. I found it very intriguing and different from anything I might have imagined. I think you would enjoy seeing it. It’s not far from church, on San Antonio Circle in Mountain View. Look for Community School for Music and Art on Google Maps. Let me know what you think about it.

Thank you! I would very much like to see it. That’s a nice walk or bike ride from church.

Oops! I’m out of date–that exhibit is gone. The new one is works by art faculty members. I haven’t seen it yet, but the examples in the new CSMA newsletter look quite interesting.
