tide pool study


We walked in to Brady's Beach at low tide. After exploring the intertidal profile, we settled down to directed obsrevations.

Our discoveries required patience and stillness as the drama of the tide pool unfolded.

There was a particularly agressive and hungry sculpin that we watched for a long time. Any morsel that floated down was gobbled up immediately to the resignation of its fellows.

Back in the studio, we used these sketches as ideas for larger works or continued to add to them from memory.
