I think these next two paintings may be my most favorite to date. They are definitely different from anything I've done and they were so much fun to paint. They didn't come without their fair share of frustrations, but I'm getting used to that part of the job.
While I'm at work I sometimes get these randomly divine ideas and must doodle right away. These paintings were a result of a random Google. Occasionally during a lull at work I pick an object, a word, an animal or something whatever and Google it. As much as I hate horror films, the supernatural or anything creepy crawly that might keep me from a decent nights sleep, I occasionally get in the mood to scare myself... odd, I know. One day, I was in such a mood and what was the first fear that came to mind? Duh. Sharks. Well that train of thought took me to Googling sea creatures in general, then to certain species of creepy looking fish and then to pretty fish whose names I could remember and then... the Jellyfish. What beautifully gooshy globulous glows of color! I was instantly inspired! I also thought the challenge would be great fun!

Now, since I'm not really an animal artist or landscape painter I wanted to combine my clothing/figure emphasized art with that glowy flowy quality of a jellyfish. I've always felt like jellyfish dance through the water and then it hit me! Dancers! Jellydancers! So, I took one of my ladies, plopped her on top and made her legs all jelly! Fabulous.
Cheerio!
