Since my first customer received his first painting (a custom
Fathoms Below, see
Work in Progress, August 2011), he has since come back for another to complete his duo of silhouette paintings. Over email, we worked on an idea together for something a little different, but still in the same context of Fathoms Below. Away we came with
Pod Migration! It is similar in size, media, color, and basic silhouette idea. Instead of sharks, we see whales. Instead of looking up, we're looking horizontally. Instead of a circular sun shimmer, we have a star sun shimmer. Enjoy the chronological photos below, introducing you to Pod Migration!

| The sketch-out. When you compare this photo to the last in the series, you'll see that things don't always work out as planned. The sketch is more-so guidelines anyway! |
 |
| The beginning of the water. While painting this, many that walked by said the painting should stay as is. Perhaps in a stark white room, this would be enough. However, we want to see some life! |
 |
| A little more color and we added *gasp* the sun! |
 |
| The sun streaming in had a little more work done to it and then we finally see...life! Yes, the whales are smaller than originally planned, but now there's more of them! Who doesn't like seeing so many whales in one area? |
 |
| Here we have the nicely cropped and ever so eloquent Etsy image. |
Woohoo! After confirmation, the painting will be shipped off to its destination. There it will be hung with care next to (or near?) it's sibling.
Thank you, Marc!
