Excellent! The enlarged version actually makes me feel sea-sick due to the rolling 'horizon'. I saw Gericault's 'RAFT OF THE MEDUSA' at the Louvre & noticed for the first time a tiny,distant ship on the horizon that the top most figure is of course signalling to-I'd never twigged this before looking @ reproductions. The canvas is IMMENSE yet the faint ship mustn't be larger than a bus ticket! It's really the true focal point of the composition but remains near invisible.
JP - I do have a film I want to make but I want to get some drawings done first.
Matt - thanks mate. I have never seen the painting is real life so it's lovely to hear a tale about it.
This is a bit of a cheat actually. It's merely the trees from the image below tinted blue in Photoshop and flipped 90 degrees. I added some clouds in Painter...
nice!! a very diferent style among the others works, "in the woods" got a wonderful silence in it. do you have done kid´s ilustrations? congratulations!
You're right, Elliot. It has been ages. Things are all good. I was kind of lost in the sea of no comments for a while. Starting to get back to normal again though. Hope all is good with you.
My name is Elliot Cowan.
I used to draw in Australia, then I went to draw in London. Now I draw in New York City.
I'm the creator and director of The Stressful Adventures of Boxhead and Roundhead, an animated series that's played at film festivals world wide.
I do a bunch of other things that you can find at www.elliotelliotelliot.com

Genius! I figured it was REAL paint!
It almost entirely is - it's touched up only a little bit and I changed the hue.

This has a really nice mood to it. I like the sparse composition.
Andres - I'm not respectable enough for children's illustrations.
Don - Nice to see you again mate.
John - Thanks. What mood do you think it has?
If you're not respectable enough to be a children's illustrator then that's all the more reason you should be one!!
Brian - I'm glad you agree!
