My husband and I had the pleasure of traveling to Iceland in July and were struck by the amount of migratory birds we saw in the Westfjords. We saw many species we had never seen before, including arctic terns, who fiercely protect their nesting grounds. #watercolor #seascape #arcticterns #fog

I think this one is done now (after posting and deleting twice 😅). The first in a foggy seascapes series. #watercolor #aquarelle #blueskyart #oceanart #salishsea
