Old Ships

Here is a thing I painted.

You've found the perfect subject! I love the way you've done the sea, and I love the glow surrounding lower ship and gilding the waves.

Ways to avoid having to paint faces: 22, people in silhouette against a bright sky... :-D

That's wonderful, I particularly love the sea in the middle section :)

[bunn]

Thank you!

Ooh, lovely! I love the creatures who appear all ghostly in the sea and the sky (though that fish-thing in the pale patch half way up on the right looks most worried to be there, poor thing.) I love the frame, too, which really suits it.

[bunn]

Yeah, that thing was based on my vague memory of this figurehead, but I didn't look at the reference again, and he looks totally different with his mouth closed!

Oh, I love that - the blend of sea and Viking motif... There's a real feel of sailing into adventure.

And sorry - I seem to be posting all my comments twice at present. Not sure how I'm managing that...

[bunn]

I put it down to LJ Is Being Weird Again...

I think I was originally aiming for something a bit more menacing, and it's come out a tad jolly. Oh well!

Ooh, very nice. I love the contrast of warm and steely colors.

Thank you!
