TANKMATES IN SARASOTA

Tankmates, Sarasota, Florida, 8 x 11 inch ink and watercolor by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

I drew this big green sea turtle from life at the Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium in Sarasota last month.  There were two manatees in the same tank, but they wouldn't hold still long enough to be drawn, so I photographed them.  Later I drew one in and then added watercolor.

OLD TRAWLER, TARPON SPRINGS, FLORIDA

Old Trawler, Tarpon Springs, Florida, 8 x 9 inch ink and watercolor by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

I drew this old trawler last month from a riverside picnic table in the old fishing and spongeing port of Tarpon Springs, just north of St. Petersburg.  Afterwards I had grilled shrimp for lunch at a restaurant on a pier that had its own shrimp boat tied up alongside.
