SOLAN

Inspired by this time I was with family, at a restaurant in Shetland that looked over the sea.  While we waited for our meal, we watched the gannets outside; diving continuously to catch their own meal.  The speed and precision in which they dive is an amazing sight.  Only seeing the flash of yellow on their heads as they become a blur.

This design was drawn with graphite pencils as separate drawings before scanning and combining the motifs to complete a repeat pattern.  The hints of colour were then added digitally.
