Listen to the Sea 11"x 14" Original Graphite Drawing

Drawn in graphite with subtle accents of color pencil, this surreal coastal composition invites the viewer to “listen” to nature’s voice. A human ear emerges from ocean waves, surrounded by blooming hibiscus flowers and native Florida elements like the sea turtle, coneflower, and conch shell. The crescent moon and sunset reflect a balance between day and night, while the symbolic ear becomes a vessel for hearing the ocean’s story. The soft gradient shading on Bristol paper lends the piece a dreamlike calm—an homage to the natural rhythms of coastal life.
