Had a little fun making up the colors here.  Its Christmas Time in Washington!  Not really, but this week it feels cold enough to be.  Hurry up warm weather!

Ignore the robo sale sign it was a concept for another idea that I just drew around.  I really wanted to let the water play here but keeping in mind the values and lighting .  It was raining when I sketched this and letting the water have more freedom seemed fitting.

SHARKS!


Every year my wife's family goes down to outer banks NC for a week of beach fun. Last year my wife, me and baby Yvette went to the NC aquarium while down there .




 It was pretty good and I took lots of photos.  The shark tank they had was huge and filled with  big sharks.  I painted this from one of the photos I took. The sharks had an eerie green glow to them due to the lighting in the tank that made them look extra cool.

  My main goal here was to get that same eerie glow feeling.  Some parts are hit and miss.  I probably should of took my time more and added more dark layers around the shark to make him/her?  pop out.  I started out good but was kind of rushing at the end.

 But this attempt was better than my first which I rushed through the whole thing and forgot about values.




 Oh well it was fun to paint and I learned something from it so I call it a win for me.

My daughter Yvette Has about 4 phases before she finally goes to sleep. 

This is phase 3 in the back of the car (my lovely and beautiful wife was driving). This phase includes thumb sucking ear grabbing and various moaning noise. 

She was out 10 min later and deep into phase 4. (usually mouth open drooling and rag doll like physics).
