Underwater Models

I took a break from painting and went to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab to watch fish and other creatures swim by.  Sea Lab is a wonderful resource for everyone to learn more about the Gulf coast, but it is especially good for a person who doesn't scuba dive (like myself) and who wants to see what lives under the water.  I use Sea Lab to get closer to my models and to formulate new painting ideas.  It's a good place to take a summer break and dream.
