I just finished this drawing. I've been meaning to do an underwater drawing or painting of La Jolla for a long time but wasn't sure how to compose it. A lot of people do underwater paintings but they feel cluttered. I tried to simplify. This is generally what La Jolla feels like underwater. I put a leopard shark in but it didn't work for the composition. The harbor seal is inspired by an actual harbor seal that visited us during our swim in January around the kelp bed. It was a perfect day, Santa Ana and thirty foot visibility. The water was only 59, great for January.
