Water Taxi Near the Shore
10” x 14”
Oil on Canvas

Morning sunlight illuminates the water taxi and the fishing boats on the nearby shore of Playa Principal in Zihuatanejo. I was interested in the abstract shapes in the background and the strong Z-shaped composition formed by the two white boats pointing toward the shoreline.

From an early age, Andrea Clarkson began drawing what she saw. "In the spring, I would watch as my grandfather stripped and varnished his wooden boat in the dusty yard of the marina. The visions of my grandpa and his boat stuck in my head, and I had to put them down on paper when I got home. I drew on old envelopes, Hershey Bar wrappers - anything that was lying around."
