Grey Seal Youngster

Here is a quick little painting I did for my NemobySea blog, this painting was significant for me as this was the first time I ever photographed a seal at Minnis Bay. Seals are a rare sight along the coast where I am, so seeing or even sharing water space with them is very special.

One interesting thing to know about seal photography is if the seal is resting and looking directly at you — you’ve disturbed it. As much as you want to look into their big ocean eyes camera or phone in hand, try to resist and depend on us arty folk to try and evoke that wonder for you instead … you can check out further information about this painting here at NemobySea.
