Landscapes and Tentcles.

Recently ive been working on a landscape piece, which is a bit differnt to what i normaly do but painting landscapes helps me build up detail and not having to rely on the quil so much for creating shading and shape. This means that doing one or two of these every week helps me with my more mainstream stuff like painting shrooms! Anyway heres a look at the landscape all finished.
I call it Planet Vs Vortex.

My facination with weird and abnormal creatures has only got worse as time has gone on, and the next piece i have to show you is no exception.

This painting is called tentecles and the first thing you think of is its an octopus, but in reality its not instead its just a bunch of tentecles with an eye in the centre. So if anything this is my first attempt at a paintoing with an optical illusion, not a massive one but still and optical illusion non the least. which is great because it just gave this piece some weird points. The coulors are another thing im proud of mixing a very bright pink with greens and blues can be very hard but it gives this piece the contrast it needs to makes the tentcles pop out!

Thats everything for this time but im working on a new painting that of course has a shroom in it but also a snail.... until next time PEACE!
