Another work inspired by Julie. Such fun and a mirage of colour and texture, I am sure you will see what you see  that is the point.

Martin, I absolutely love that!  It's gorgeous. I can see a large sea horse in the right of the picture, from top to bottom!
Going for another look now!

Cracking colours Martin and the more I look, the more I see. The sea-horse is easy to spot but I can see a half rodent, half fish below what to me looks like an eel skeleton I'm sure other people will see things differently. Well done.

Thank you Sunnydale, I have three horses they are on the blue side of colour but you can see the snouts quite clearly, as for the fish 'n' shrimps they are there and quite clear.......just fun.

A fascinating piece of art: I love it! What medium do you use?
Always think that if you had to imagine an animal, a seahorse would be about the last thing you'd think of. They are strange creatures. |

Thank you Ron, what you see is just that, and that is what makes it fun. It is made to make people look .... we will all see some things the same and others like your half rodent I am still looking for....maybe a water Rat !!
All the best Ron.

Thank you Ellen.
Yes still about until the first week in July then leave the Island for the main land again. Will still be working on the Island in a round about way though.
Will be still on WAB though, at the moment concentrating on my canoing.
Thanks again for your comments, always appreciated.
Martin

Thank you Hedera for your comments.
Poster colours from Wilkinson's, and their canvas boards all very cheap. Then plenty of banging on the side to mix the colours in and lots of blowing and finally using a twig to scratch and mix the paint a little more. Then as things appear a little more concentration on those parts.....then stopping before you go too far...as I have learnt that is the hard part.
Thanks again for the comments.
Martin
