King of the Beach (Elephant Seal) Study
King of the Beach, an elephant seal pastel drawing on paper. 9 inches wide by 7.5 inches tall.
In spring of 2018, on a road trip towards the San Juan Island from Los Angeles, we pulled over to see the Elephant Seal beach as described in one of those pamphlets you see in racks. This King of the Beach greeted us with interest before he went back to his sleeping. An indescribable moment captured in pastel.
This drawing ships flat. Colors vary from screen to screen, the dominant colors on this pastel painting are black, yellow ochre and the toned light yellow paper.
Roar
Roar. Pastel on tone Paper. 9x12"
Sea lions roar; though it's hard to believe unless you see it in person. I had the opportunity to sit with this sea lion and his friends on the docks in Charleston, OR. Weary but calm, these Sea Lions slept while I drew them, though occasionally, they would roar at each other when a new comer would disrupt their sleep. This drawing emerged from that experience.

In the water
In the water is a pastel painting of a swimming beaver. The colors in this piece are pinks and purples layered on turquoise blues, on toned tan paper. This pastel painting is an original work of art inspired by an American Beaver I met in the Adirondacks, NY. I had the rare opportunity to watch the beaver spend hours bringing over dirt and sticks to close up a culvert
This is a one of a kind work of art. The full drawing is 9 inches tall by 12 inches wide, but can frame well in an 11x14 mat, with an 8x10 opening.
