Florida Manatee Painting

I'm now a freelance artist, not seriously yet but making the effort to go all the way forward. I have always enjoyed drawing and illustrating and lately I've made some commitment to make myself a part-time artist. I love nature, wildlife and the oceans and I like to base my abstract work on such subjects. I particularly like the French painter Claude Monet and the British painter William Turner and and the latter has a lot to offer to my favourite subjects which are ships and boats. My favourite nature scenes include coral reefs, beaches and the seaside. I intend to draw more ships in the future and I have plans to include those large , behemoth World War 2 battleships to my art drawing collection. As for some of my other atworks, I love to draw and color underwater scenic sceneries where corals and marine fishes live together without the interference from humans and today's all too serious pollution. I love anything colorful and will always base my work on that but I also have a vision problem where I'm color-blind.
