Description Going from one to another, a lizard by form, crawling on its belly, seeking the imposible. I liked the elements used in this, including, fire, water, and nature. It makes for an interesting peace, unlike most of my other works.

That's awesome looking, the black background is great, instead of being flat black, and I love the red and blue flames. Did you use a palette knife? The stylized lizard really pops out, and looks really graphic compared with the painterly effects of teh background. It's a really awesome design.

You peged me on the palet knife. This was one of my first oppertunity to play with oil paints so I went a little crazy. And then I addemted to wipe all of the oil paint off of the canvas, which was already painted black. Then I ended up with some wack cool tecture and attemted to paint a tree with pright green. Didn't work. Looked more like a flying space ship, so I added leges and it turned into the body of a lizard. The flames and watter were me just goofing off with the knife. I love it when accedents make work happen.

Thanks again for the comment.

That is so awesome that it all happened by accident. I love when stuff like that happens too, cuz you always learn from things like that. It really kicks ass I'm gonna check out more of your gallery later today after school. Any other happy accidents in there?

The machine, splat, ocean of Fire, and color overload. I think those are the only unplaned peaces. Somethimes I try to just wing it and see what happens. And sometimes I am plesently suprised.

Thanks for the look see!

Thanks, it was one of my very first oil paintings, and I was worried that it would be a total wast of canvas. It turned out much better then I had planned.

Thanks again and have a great day!

Thanks a lot...it was a fun drawing to do. Gave me a chance to get out of just realistic and do something from my head with bold color and fun shapes and lines. Also It was one of my first oil paintings. a neet but messy medium to work with.

Thanks again
