Shark Waters

An 8x10, Oil. This is a painting that I did along with one of my students this week. He got to choose the subject! A really cool silhouette of a shark in the water from underneath the big guy. The sun shining in through the water and creating a wonderful effect. I used linseed oil to thin the oil paint to get the color variations on the water. I flashed back to our snorkeling days, remembering the bright colorful groups of fish seen in the big blue. Thankfully we never encountered a shark! Thanks for looking.

Psalm 118:24
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
