I'm painting as soon as I get home from work. well, sorta. I let the dogs out first, feed the cat, make dinner and take Pandora upstairs to my "studio". I was inspired by a recent trip to the Museum of Natural History in D.C.. They had a small art exhibition in the ocean hall of animals. The exhibition was an assortment of x-rays of fishes. One of my favorite x-rays was the one with an eel.
So I went home thinking about it and came up with this first...
I don't know why I thought of a mustache creature. But it is the image I saw in the x-ray, does that make sense? I am a visual person and my imagination is never turned off. I love when an image has an immediate sense of movement even when it's two-dimensional. I keep working on it as I type.
Here's how far I've gotten so far...
I know it's not done yet. It does need a little more work and then I'll be satisfied with the results. It's always a delicate balance figuring out when to stop painting. Everything is a work in progress.
