On day one I sketched the wavy lines of sea, and the next day when I looked at it I saw a beard, hence "Beard Sea". I added the viking ship as a homage to the Viking culture and the Up Helly Aa fire festival, which happens here in Shetland every January. <br /><br />I thought the final would really lend its self to woodblock, so I got about carving also taking inspiration from the beautifully crafted long ships and viking attire.<br /><br />It's a great time of year to visit Shetland, the fire festival really is something you have to see!<br /><br />Thanks again<br />JonoJono Sandilandshttp://www.jonosandilands.comnoreply@blogger.com
