NAUTILUS FINISHED


I'm still working on some unfinished paintings. 

Nautilus is done now. 

I think I may do a larger version and make it more loose and wet-in-wet...this is just a 1/2 sheet trial painting.

    I like this! Terrific background and I like the colors and shapes of the nautilus.

    Thanks, Deb, Vicki and Dee! I could enter this in a show, Deb, but I already have my two paintings chosen for the June show and they are both crow paintings :) I'm hoping that great "patron" of mine shows up again so he can pretend to buy one! ha ha

    Rhonda...All of your color choices on this one remind me of jewel tones, the background just makes the nautilus sparkle, and vice versa. Good finish!
