Nothing like a rock to interpret a drawing about rocks.

Canal Rocks is a popular tourist destination that is located along the South western coastline of Western Australia and is one of the stops along the Cape To Cape Track. There, one witnesses spectacular seascape views across the Indian Ocean. The crashing of the energetic ocean waves against the granite coastline has chiselled out a channel into the rugged rock formation over time.

The markmarking on this drawing of was done using a stone I picked up locally. I intended to have something that is more interpretative without the 'designed' look. My idea for this piece was for it to have a sense of casualness, as well as bearing a direct imprint of nature's elements. Simple, unsophisticated, but strongly textured.
