Poetry assignment from last semester. I'm not satisfied with the sea, or the sky, really: I think, going back to this, I'd gray the sky and turn the sea a much deeper blue, with foam-ripples on the waves.

I agree with you about the foam ripples but really, this is just such an intriguing drawing! It makes me wanna read an entire story instead of just the poem! The girl in the water is especially cool!

There's at least one myth about her - Sedna is an Inuit ocean goddess. I'll work on the rest, but I have no idea what form it'll end up taking!

Oh I'd love to see more of your work on this piece! You seem to be able to conceptualize the idea really well! I'll be looking out for it ;)

I like how it appears the old man is so focused on brushing her hair he seems to have forgotten his own.

Sorry, it is kind of small, isn't it? It reads:
"I live near beachcombers,
small gray people
with tufts of mossy hair and twisted limbs.
They tell me combing Sedna's hair
is easier on the edges
and they would know, I'd think,
having navigated the rest of her
to settle here."

Wow! Beautiful! I like the way his hair matches the beach grass. And the look out of the corner of her eye. Lovely drawing!

I love the subtleness of this.

How you handled the old man is amazing. He looks so lanky and scraggly and I love it.

Thank you so much! A compliment from you, especially on watercolor and ink work, means a lot to me! Your own work is so beautiful...
