The ‘Caverna Diablo’ Watercolors
Bottlenose Dolphins, waiting at the Diablo Cave’s Mouth
A pair of watercolor painting on D'Arches paper, that I created after cave diving with wild dolphins off the outer Cayes of Belize.
After swimming for months with my escorts, I started having dolphin dreams, not dreams of dolphins - rather being one of them, one of the family pod and seeing the world through their eyes...
In this painting - dolphins, peer into a cave dripping with stalactites and monolithic stalagmites - natural formations creating ancient sculptures - from a time when the cave was above sea level. In the soft light, the natural sculptures have the look of bearded demons, giving the cave an otherworldly feel and the name Caverna Diablo.
The dolphins did not enter the cave, but waited outside watching and waiting.
As caves often do, this one had a surreal and sacred feel to it. My dreams after this dive - filled in why.
The original watercolor painting of "Caverna Diablo II" is available - $2800. Both paintings are available as Giclee prints or murals on tile.
