One Last Visit to the Reef and Postscript

The winds died down a bit on Friday, so we decided to jump in for a final photo session before leaving to return home the following day. The water was a balmy 81 degrees so no need for a wet suit. We took a variety of photos, to capture the feeling of the reef as well as the different types of fish we’ve come to know over the past two weeks. 

We bid a fond farewell to the beautiful waters that surround this island and will remember our experiences here always. 



















Can you find the trunk fish?

















Postscript: This post is being published a couple of days after returning home so I am including two experiments that were created on the iPad while on the plane, both there and back. The first was drawn from memory using images taken last fall while snorkeling in a freshwater lake and is in prep for a larger painting. The other references photos taken this past week and is still in process. It is an experiment with a different technique to build coral and reef texture, so it feels very different from the watercolor sketches. Now that I am at home, I’ll be posting additional photos as I process them on my computer. Stay tuned!
