Jim Denevan Drawings in the Sand

Here's a project for those of us who can (sometimes) get bored at the beach:

Jim Denevan makes temporary drawings on sand, earth and ice that are eventually erased by waves and weather.










I am always in awe of artists who have the ability to systematically let go of  their works. See more of Jim's work here  and take a few minutes to watch this very nice video to find out more about his process:

  2. WOW! Incredible, isn't it? I think I've actually seen a video about this guy - but I'd totally forgotten all about it. Gorgeous stuff. I can't imagine doing it ... so perfectly. :-)
