HARBOUR SEAL
Not for Sale
The Pacific Harbour Seal is quite common around Vancouver Island. This is Erie's favourite animal and we have way too many photos of it - no really we do! Even though I've been told by her that you can never have to many pictures of these things I'm pretty sure we're way over the legal limit. The benefit of having three or four hundred thousand seal pictures is that when I needed reference material for the drawing I had a lot to choose from. I did this picture for Erie.

In the section "About the Art" I explain the stippling process and mention that it takes millions of dots to complete one of these 11" x 16" drawings - it wasn't an exaggeration.
