Artist's Comments

This was done WAAAAAAY back in January when Paint class first started. I had NEVER done anything with oil and canvas paint before...just acrylic. Anyway, We were told to just do whatever, with black and white paint. I wanted to do some random abstract thing with wavy lines going everywhere. However, My blacks and whites kept mixing and i ended up with mostly grey paint. I was very disgruntled, my supposedly "deep" painting was going NOWHERE!:shakefist: In my rage, I "ruined" the painting with a little Alien Man... but then my two friends said that the painting looked like it was under the sea...and they dubbed my Alien the Seaweed Man. So thats the end of the story.

This looks great.
Its like deep water where the surface floor has been disturbed.

I have more the vision of a great owl, light reflected from his eyes, flying towards you from behind trees (partially obscuring his wings)

My first experiences with oil on canvas were never fantastic either. The paint is so slow-drying, that the paint just meshes into each other when you try to paint over it, and then you get muddy colours.
I think this piece turned out better than you think. It looks so eery with the Seaweed Man's glowing eyes.
I definitely feel trapped under this grayscale underwater world, and almost unsafe, with the glare of the Seaweed Man.
Well done! :)
