Description: A black/blue, white and brown hued art piece with two themes. First, there is a sea life theme, exhibiting two very large fish, along with some other sea creatures and seaweed. The other theme is a residential type theme showing two brown apartment buildings set against a sky with clouds, a triangle, multiple circles, and birds. Dyann Alkire; etching; handcolored with watercolor; sea air; 20x25 inches; 1986 I like etching because I like to draw. Things such as deep sea life, insects, birds, fish, and architectural structures appeal to me, and I combine them in my compositions. Each piece has a certain theme that just evolves as I work on the plate, rather than having a set idea from the beginning.
