\"Circle<\/a>For the past 6 years or so Drew’s been creating a new painting for the Ocean-Institute’s summer program flyers and t-shirts. \u00a0They’ll also use the art on huge banners (about 15′ x 20′) to hang on the side of their building every year.<\/p>\n

The Ocean-Institute<\/a> is an organization based out of Dana Point, Ca. \u00a0Their mission is to inspire all generations, through education, to become responsible stewards of our oceans. \u00a0Their vision is to be the world’s best experiential ocean educational organization.<\/p>\n

Drew loves what the Ocean-Institute does to teach people, particularly kids, about the ocean and protecting our environment. \u00a0He really loves creating art for them every year. \u00a0And, working with the President, Bentley Cavazzi, is always a joy. \u00a0Bentley is one of those rare individuals that not only understands art, but also gives Drew a lot of leeway on the creative end of it.<\/p>\n

This year Drew decided to paint a slightly different look. \u00a0Instead of the paint pens, he used a combination of spray paint and then airbrushing (for the background, to create an under-water effect) and then acrylic paints with brushes.<\/p>\n

His goal was to create a soft, under-water circle of life without the hard edges, emanating somewhat of a subtle energy. \u00a0I think he pulled it off nicely.<\/p>\n

The end result: \u00a0A 6′ x 4′ Acrylic on Canvas, beautiful, about to be framed, sold & hung! \u00a0(If you are interested in buying it, click here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

We allow the Ocean-Institute use the artwork, but we keep the original. \u00a0So once we frame it, we’ll place it in an upcoming art exhibit that Drew will have at the Ocean-Institute, and make it available for purchase.<\/p>\n
