Description I finally got to paint this from my digital manipulation, Don't Give Up Searching.
I'm so pleased with the result. I used a few different textures and oil paint and made the eye brown rather then blue so that the image was unified in pallet to suit a college project so that I could paint this particular piece without abandoning duty.

Manipulation I made and used as reference:[link]
Stock images used in manipulation:
Rust-[link] by pdtnc-stock [link]
and [link] by kriegs [link]
Eye- [link] by SaligiaStock [link]

UPDATE-
In 2008 this painting was STOLEN.
It was being displayed in Bentley Pines Restaurant with a group of other art from fellow students. toward the end of the year the restaurant went though refurbishments and stored the works in a disabled toilets :/ we were asked to collect the work but this painting had already gone before it could be collected. Ive contacted all the people in charge and been forwarded around like a telstra customer on hold and still haven't gotten it back.

Haha, I thought I had not gotten away with it. That security camera must not have been working that I saw watching me. Mwahaha, it is all mine now. A mighty amount of jet lag to get it though.

In a way it shows it is valued as someone has nicked it. So although very annoying it is a compliment of sorts.

hatefueled In reply to MessyMurder [2008-10-27 08:17:25 +0000 UTC]

Depends what quality oils and where you get them. I buy huge tubes of it at about $8 (Australian dollars) a tube from a bookstore in harbor town that sells a bit of art and craft stuff on the side.
