Title: His firm lips met like the lips of a vice; the Delta of his forehead's veins swelled like overladen brooks; in his very sleep, his ringing cry ran through the vaulted hull, Stern all! the White Whale spouts thick blood!

That's an awesome extract, but I think you did it!
ReplyDeleteLeaving 'Power from the Sea', and placement, a real depth. Image really muscular too - I love the brush strokes.
I wanted, for this piece, to create something as iconic as possible. While I can look at it and see dozens of little things I'd like to improve, overall I am satisified.
ReplyDeleteThe "Power from the Sea" was something I did not initially notice when selecting this piece of found paper, but after I began painting it jumped out at me and seemed almost eerily appropriate.
Dig this one Kish.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, you know how much that means to me coming from you, Thomas. I was actually thinking of your art a bit as I was mixing up the paints for this one, especially the earth-tones near the bottom. Many thanks!
ReplyDeletethis is my favourite so far. I just love it. Maria Giovanna Campobasso
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria. This piece in particular was one of those where the synthesis of text, image and the found paper I used was simply and unintentionally perfect.
