I've done two pieces lately that I would consider to be masterpieces, and this is one of them! I'm so excited about it!
I just finished this new painting, I was working on it all summer! Of course I put it away a little bit when the details lost my attention span. It feels like such an accomplishment to have finished it.
I do feel like I dedicated myself with this one. Prior to this, I really didn't paint any skin tones and that's something I've been practicing over the last few months. I really like how these skin tones have blues and reds in them. Their faces are about the size of my fingernail. So there's a lot of real little details around that pic-nic area!
This piece is a medium size.
This piece is titled "Picnic Under the Sea"
(might change that title, not sure yet.)
But anyways, I saw the image in a dream, I was walking through this large room and there was many artworks on the wall and I saw this one just as it is with the positive negative whales in the sky and the little orange fishies swimming towards me. As well as a thick gloss over the whole piece. I think I had the dream probably 2 years or more ago, I'm glad I could finally get the image out!
