As I wrote above, ...Thank you both, Buck and Titus. As I wrote above, this is one of my favorites, and a piece I have no hesitation admitting I am proud of.<br /><br />This is also one of the very very few pieces I have ever created - for any project - where, when I look at it, I can also hear it. When I stare at this piece, I can hear the roar of the wind, the crashing of the waves, and most importantly the shrieking of the lightning playing about the masts. That almost never happens to me, but this one is really a total sensory experience.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-73517840500643248292010-12-20T16:08:45.800-05:002010-12-20T16:08:45.800-05:00Love this one!

The overwhelming majority of my art shows things from either the side only or the front only. Almost never do I depict something from a quarter angle like the Pequod here, showing depth and form. That's just something that's very hard for me, with my limited drawing skills, to do. Foreshortening is something I never even came close to mastering. But this piece...man, just about everything clicked perfectly. I love it.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-24826199060076695772010-12-19T18:39:50.152-05:002010-12-19T18:39:50.152-05:00You weren't kidding when you said you were doi...You weren't kidding when you said you were doing some of your finest work. I can't wait to see the detail on this piece. I'm always amazed what you and others can do with a simple ballpoint pen. The paint is what makes this piece though.Sean McGurrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041260778286942630noreply@blogger.com
