Here is my painting for the upcoming Moby Dick show at Porter Mill as it looked on June 29, 2024. The text is the last sentence of the final chapter of Moby Dick, describing the disappearance of the Pequod into the whirlpool. You can see here that I was working on placement of the text, which is important to the composition. As I fiddled with that, I was also beginning to paint. The text is: "And now concentric circles seized the lone boat itself and all its crew and each floating oar and every lancepole and spinning, animate and inanimate, all round and round in one vortex carried the smallest chip of the Pequod out of sight."
