Artist's Comments

I was in the mood to make a new piratey picture, and after looking through a bunch of Howard Pyle's artwork and *AilinStock's stock gallery, I found the perfect inspiration. This picture is based on this stock photo. I drew it in brown pencil and then painted over it with ink washes on an 18"x24" piece of watercolor paper. Then I scanned it into my computer and painted in the rest of the colors in Photoshop. The finished picture measures 20"x30". It was completed in May of 2007. :ahoy:

Many thanks to :iconailinstock: for providing such wonderful stock images and for giving me permission to base an illustration on one of their photos! :thanks:

Prints of this are now available!

A behind the scenes look at this picture can be seen right here.

Wow! The texture and color of the sea in this piece reminds me of Caspar David Friedrich's "Monk by the Sea" (a personal favorite). Excellente!

I actually wasn't familiar with that painting, so thank you for sharing it! And after seeing that painting, I'm extremely flattered - that's very high praise. So thank you! :hug:

Love this one! I think you actually captured the Howard Pyle style yet made it your own!

An artist..a human being,profoundly human to the core..isnt capable of loving until he forgets himself and sacrifices himself if necessary if he won’t put down his magic brush and head the fight against the oppressor,then he isnt a great artist"DiegoRiver

It looks like a strange scene from a very secret dream, one of the dreams we'll always remember, as if it happened in real life.

Awesome! Awesome!

Waits to bring me down
Drown me in its waves
