Graceful Harbor Drawing

**What/who inspired the work?** The inspiration for this artwork came from the captivating elegance and playful nature of seals and sea lions. The work draws influence from the enchanting marine life documentaries of Jacques Cousteau, celebrating the grace and charm of these creatures in their natural habitat. **What do you hope its viewers will feel/think?** I hope viewers experience a sense of wonder, admiration, and a connection to the marine world when engaging with this artwork. The subject matter, a seal, is chosen to evoke feelings of curiosity and a harmonious appreciation for the beauty of nature. Through the playful depiction, I aim to inspire viewers to reflect on the importance of marine conservation and the need to preserve these incredible creatures and their habitats. **Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style?** The choice of watercolor as a medium was deliberate, as its fluidity and transparency perfectly capture the fluid essence of water and the marine environment. The subject matter, focusing on a seal, aligns with a fascination for marine life and the desire to showcase their charm. The style combines realism with a touch of whimsy, allowing for a vivid portrayal that captures the spirit of these creatures while maintaining a sense of artistic expression.
