Title:
It was far down the afternoon; and when all the spearings of the crimson fight were done: and floating in the lovely sunset sea and sky, sun and whale both stilly died together...10.25 inches by 7.25 inches

Lovely! I liked how, at first glance, I thought this was looking into the mouth of a whale.
ReplyDeleteWinston, I genuinely love it when someone else sees something in an illustration I've made that I had not seen myself. This was a brilliant comment, and it really made my morning. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I too saw a second image: the setting sun, and a cross section of whale muscle and blubber.
ReplyDeleteJeffrey, that, to me, is even more unexpected but given the nature of the text, I think it is very apt. I'm quite pleased with this image because I generally have an almost impossible time relinquishing any sort of control over my drawings. What I mean is, I can become so fixated on what I want the image to be that I will work and work and render and over-render and close every line and delineate every shape until I have just about crushed the life out of a piece with the weight of the lines. I'm monstrously thrilled that this piece can breathe a bit.
