Peter Donnelly by Ben Bailey
Peter Donnelly is an American artist who uses a very unique medium, sand. His art is a large 2D image in the sand. His pieces can only be admired to their full potential when viewed from above. This art is unique, because unlike paint or mosaics, or any other type of medium, his creations wash away as soon as the tide changes. He uses sticks and rakes to drag along the sand and make the intricate designs he creates. This form of art is very natural. This unheard of method almost takes the childish game of drawing pictures in the sand to an entirely different level.

Very interesting and it takes a lot of dedication to work so long on his art, only to be washed away by the tide. It's pretty awesome to think how creative he is doing this type of art.

DeleteThat is amazing how he can in vision a picture as large as that and put it on sand before the tide changes. It kinda reminds me of crop circles... but this is way cooler.
