Majestic Sea Pancake
Watercolor on watercolor paper, 2023 (approx. 5.5 inches x 7 inches.)
Manta rays are one of my long-time favorite creatures. These aquatic flapjacks can reach massive size and yet my only interactions with them have consisted of gentle energy, even when one was plucking a fish out of my little kid hand. 2023 was a year in which I longed to escape into the sea (darn that not being able to breathe underwater thing!), so when I researched creatures to inspire some studies, manta rays were one of the ones that first sprang to mind.
Hopefully I’ll get to see some in real life again, soon. What would one call a bunch of sea pancakes, a stack?
