DAYS 39–40 February 22–23. At sea
It is taking us two days to travel from Stanley to Punto del Este, Uruguay, on the continent. In the meanwhile I’m trying a new technique for my picture of an island in Admiralty Bay. It features a receding glacier surrounded by very rough cliffs of gray and deep brown. This technique involves each feature of the rocky surface in ink, then filling in with colored pencil. Very time-consuming. Fun, but I don’t think the finished picture is successful. I think the cliffs upstage the glacier. I think I’ll try again at a later time, with a different approach.
