  Aquamen


Anatomical studies, sketches and detailed paintings of the male physique -- nude, or nearly so. 

Some of these works are rendered in watercolors on heavy, cold-pressed papers, over fine graphite drawings.  Others are in acrylics -- another water-based medium -- on heavy paper, board or masonite.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner,
Samuel Coleridge Taylor
