Solitude Below The Water Line

Oil on Board. This was initially suppose to be my attempt at an 'Ashley Wood' a.k.a a quick painterly expressive sketch. Needless to say it changed into something a bit more. Not so happy with the eel faces, but loving the lighting and the traffic light manta ray.

I think in the future I will go back and add some more details to it, as well as possibly digitally manipulate it somewhat...needs some bubbles too.

Influenced as ever by the masterful Shaun Tan and the wonderful works of Studio Ghibli.
