The Whirlpool (Moby Dick Project) as of June 23, 2024



This is my current project as it looked on June 23rd, 2024.  I managed to get a rough version of my idea drawn on to the canvas with pencil and conte crayon.  This is  for an upcoming show at Porter Mill on the theme of Herman Melville's novel Moby DIck. I am painting a representation of the whirlpool at the end of the novel, superimposed with the text of the last long sentence of the final chapter, describing the disappearance of the Pequod.
