sea clouds painting aynaku  illustration adobe

The sea surface is continually changeable. It is so a good symbol of impermanence that artists (whose works are necessarily metaphorical) had tried to make use of thousand times, I believe. That makes things harder!
I mean, who am I to stand by Hokusay’s ukiyo-e or “prints of the floating world” (everyday life)? Hokusay’s world famous “waves” are powerful representations of the sea, as they are Coubert’s sea-pictures or Turner’s just to mention a nice pair!
Anyway, I tried my best…At first I listened to Claude Debuissy’s “La mer” as a stimulating therapy; then, suddenly, I caught the bloody mouse and started drawing my digital doodle: it took a few hours. Here it is. Never take this sort of things too seriously!

This is very calming and well done, I love the lilac sky especially. Great work.

You could have submitted your whole site for sea! Ukyio-e will dominate the seas forever :) Love how ’shifting’ your waves are!

kind of menacing as well as calm on the surface.

It must have been hard to decide to do a new one when your whole blog is suitable, as noticed previously by anonymous.
got to go
