Dolphins

One of the things I love about the 30 day painting challenges is the opportunity to paint just about anything. It's a real creative playground where I can experiment and discover new muses. So, for today, something completely different—dolphins. 

We took photos of these dolphins while visiting California. We were supposed to be on a whale sight-seeing tour. We found no whales, but we DID come across a megapod of thousands of dolphins. Take a look at the video here:

30 Paintings in 30 Days: September, 2014—Day 25

While on vacation in California last summer, I was fascinated by an exhibit of undersea kelp. The exhibit simulated ocean current, making the kelp wave with the flow of the water.  I thought it would make a great abstract painting. This is a fist study of what I hope someday will be a larger piece.
