Drawings from the ocean's edge

[rowyn]

I always wanted to do a series of avatar cartoons, displaying different emotions, for my own LJ icons. But I never could pick an avatar for myself.

However, since oceansedge liked the avatar drawing I did for her, I decided to do the next best thing: avatars displaying different emotions for someone else. :)

    

    

I hope you like 'em, oceansedge. And if not, don't worry about offending me -- I had fun doing them. :)

The angry one reminds me more of the North Atlantic coast I grew up on, which always seemed to me to be a bit 'wilder', a sterner mother than her more gentle Pacific sister. Although the tropical beaches you mention are Atlantic .... hurmmm I guess that contradicts that allegory :)

Still it's always chargrined me some, that when one goes hunting for pictures or art of beaches and oceans, what one finds is almost always peaceful tropical scenes.

How true. It's a shame because I find I have a larger emotional response to gray stormy seas than to calm tropical blue. I'd probably love the North Atlantic if I ever get a chance to see eat. North Pacific is pretty amazing.

I remember peaceful tropical scenes from Florida. Hurricane David comes to mind, when we were trying to get to sixty miles per hour in a lightweight van by wind power alone (we had the doors open and roped).

However, alas and alack, no one paints pictures of these anymore. Used to be, that paintings of harsh stormy seas and sailing vessels were quite popular. Now I go looking for pictures of the ocean.... the ones I find seem to only be missing the pina colada.

Just so you don't feel left out... Here's an image from Florida.
