These are pieces that I finished early last month. The bottom is a detail of a painting that was still in progress but has since been finished. I have been geeking out on reflective water even if there are just hints of it in a picture it can be fun and challenging to get it to work. The top image is a large painting with a bit of reflective water and many animals. It took a while to do. There are several things going on that where fun. The dust kicked up by the masses of walking dinosaurs was a fun effect as was the glistening guts of critter being fed on by the young rex. You may also notice a repeating theme in the paintings. I love fungus that grow on decaying wood. I have always loved the look and even the smell of fungi, fallen trees and ferns.
