These watercolors were done this April while on a live-aboard dive boat in Indonesia.  I usually did two dives in the morning then found a shady spot on the deck to paint in the afternoon.  I used watercolor crayons along with paint on a 10x14 block of hot pressed 140 lb. paper. 

My intent is to abstractly convey the wonderful colors and diversity of life on the reefs we dove.  Two of the paintings use the same approach to show my impressions of the market in the small harbor town of Bima.  One is a more conventional landscape done from the boat in late afternoon as the moon was rising over a mountainous island.

Available watercolors are $175 in a white mat with backing, ready for a 16"x20" frame.

The paintings below were done in my studio soon after returning home.  These are $125 matted.
