Rocky Shoreline Series part 02

Rocky Shoreline 03

I could have called this series

 "experimenting with pastel paper" 

or "how ideas develop"

This example is on my favourite paper, 

a 1000 grit automotive sandpaper.

But back to the process......

Wandering around the shoreline 

I began to notice little quiet areas 

where the water gently swirled 

and you could see patterns

 through the clear water. 

I stood in the water

(up to my ankles)

and took many more photos,

(mostly guess work) 

as I couldn't really see

 through the tiny camera lens.

Back in the studio

I studied these, found

a few with interesting possibilities

and this is the result!

I surprised myself with the 

abstractness of the design 

and think it's an idea 

worth developing.
