Man o' War
I love coastal North Carolina where my sister lives. I love going for long walks along the beach at Fort Macon. One day when we were walking there we came across a whole bunch of dead Portuguese Men o' War on the beach. My sister warned me not to go near them, and said that even days after their death they could sting dreadfully. So I kept my distance! But they were such a gorgeous and delicate blue color that I had to photograph them, and knew I would have to paint them too.
Christina, my art teacher, says I should do more beach scenes like this, and that they would probably be popular in Florida. :-)
Done on my usual 9x12 Art Spectrum Colourfix paper.
