Description
I was in the mood to make a new piratey picture, and after looking through a bunch of Howard Pyle's artwork and *AilinStock 's stock gallery, I found the perfect inspiration. This picture is based on this stock photo . I drew it in brown pencil and then painted over it with ink washes on an 18"x24" piece of watercolor paper. Then I scanned it into my computer and painted in the rest of the colors in Photoshop. The finished picture measures 20"x30". It was completed in May of 2007.
Many thanks to for providing such wonderful stock images and for giving me permission to base an illustration on one of their photos!
Prints of this are now available!

This is very beautiful, absolutely beautiful, this is gorgeous. His figure is magnificently painted. The background is properly majestic to expose his body, but the man himself is more than stunningly shown.
I believe the painting was worked on in the upper part, the sky and most of the sea, more than is seemingly necessary. Still, I am breathless. Very wonderful.

This has to be my favorite of yours Jackie. I love the colors, the texture of the landscape and the dazed posed of the survivor.

Not only do I love the style you used to make this, but I love that the blended blues and greens of the sky and ocean meet and blur together. It's just pretty and I wanna say misty.

Wonderful, and very moody. It's easy to imagine the salty wet, the sticky sand, the cold wind off the surf, and the exhaustion of having made it this far.
