Yeah I love their take on Easy. This is an earlier song of theirs and the colors and the surrealism is what reminds me of your painting, though the quality of this youtube video isnt the best, hope you enjoy: [link]

This a very well done piece, the human hand is one of the most difficult things to portray in art, and you have done it perfectly. A well deserved Daily Deviation. Congrats!

yes definitely acrylics,but this I did this 2007,shifted to water mixable paints already as you can see in my latest works.Thank you so much for the visit.

usernamedesired In reply to back2basic [2009-07-19 22:59:24 +0000 UTC]

Damn, that's intense D: Acrylics are so much harder to work with than oils. Nice job!

back2basic In reply to usernamedesired [2009-07-20 11:56:53 +0000 UTC]

yep,oils are easier to blend,and theres enough time to manipulate it,but acrylics are really quick drying,so I have to hurryup with the blending.Thanks for visiting my gallery.

TheDirigiblePlum [2009-07-19 00:17:34 +0000 UTC]

This reminds me of Dali. I like the way the lifelike hands contrast with the bright colours of the surroudings. You use acrylic in a very different way to me, and in a way I could never do! So I find it interesting.

Is it really 6 feet tall?! That's the same height as me! You must be very amazing!

Love this piece.

back2basic In reply to TheDirigiblePlum [2009-07-19 02:11:53 +0000 UTC]

Marianne thanks for your warm comments,and yes it is 6feet tall,but the new ones I'm painting now are a bit smaller but hopefully better concepts as well.
