A bit of the old White Whale again

While we were visiting our friends in southwestern Ohio, I had a chance to play around a bit with some acrylic paint, some rough wood, and some really strange brushes. To be fair, I was carrying on a conversation while I worked on this, but still, I think it's an intriguing piece. And strange that even now, after all this time, the White Whale seems to never stray far from my thoughts.
