Description This one has a weird background. it started out as an acrylic painting of a face but it never turned out well and through out my experiments with acrylics i discoved i had to go back to my roots and use the paints that my grandad used to use, oil paint. thats ood as well.
ive done a photography course and a year into it i found out my grandad was very much a keen photographer and now im useing the same paints as him...hmmm. any ways back to the painting.
ive done 3 oil paintings so far and this is the 3rd but 2nd finished painting. i started with an image of a turtel in an ocean and realy liked it and i thought i try it and so i tried doing a sea but when i was doing it, i became obvious that it was achularly turning itself into a icey mountain 0.o i was like wow! i didnt see that and so i continued the bottom part as the sea but then right at the end it turned out for me to be a flat, grassy peice of land (mum said to her it still looks like the sea). i was thinkin: wow! this painting has evolved by it's self LOL!
tell me what u think. and im not sure if to make it abit more obvious as a grassland or something or shall i just leave it for the viewers to think of it as sea or grass on their own? i donno :/

(soz about the quolity of the digital image of this painting, i'll try and update it with a better image soon)

Update: ive resantly given it to my bf lol and he likes it but noone in his house hold can agree if it's a wave, a moutain with waves around it or as i see it lol grass with a mountin in the background lol what u see is up to you. pls let me know what u see. it'll be fasinating to hear what people see.

I see it the way you do: A mountain with waves around it. I like how you did the waves, it makes them feel very frigid: almost like they're on the verge of turning to ice, themselves.
