The following one was done in summer 05. Again it's oil on canvas (100 [height] x 70 cm [width]) and again it's a tiny little bit cuttle-related (otherwise I wouldn't post here, right ) ... Hehe ... This one was done for a poster dealing with cuttlefish physiology (for a scientific conference).
The first two pictures show the two cuttlefishes that were painted for this poster: the upper one was meant to emphasize respiratory and circulation system - the lower one was more neurophysiological. Both cuttlefishes are on one canvas (just too difficult to get a clear pic with both). The last picture shows how they were arranged on the final poster ...
Once again, thank you for all those nice comments about my paintings
Here is one more I would like to share. This time it's not painted on canvas, but on a wall (my family's bathroom, app. 163 x 185 cm). It was painted long time ago (in 1999) and only recently was cuttle-lized Yes, I admit the dolphin part was stolen from / inspired by the "miracle of life" painting by C.R. Lassen Hehe... I liked his stuff when I was 16
These first three pictures show the (ceph-free) original painting while it was painted in 1999...
I always felt this painting wasn't complete So here in the upper left corner just below the sea surface is this little brandnew ceph-addition that I was painting during my last visit at home (xmas 2005)
Furthermore, on the seafloor there are three new cuttle-eggs and one tiny hatchling (in real size and with w-shaped iris! )... Hehe
This last picture was not taken in front-view so it looks a little bit strange...
And after almost seven years I finally call this painting complete Hehe...
These are amazing!! So do you paint other cephalopods or are you primarily interested in Cuttles? Again, fantastic work... I've done a couple for course poster presentations but they're not great, and absolutely awful compared to your pieces! All I can really say is WOW!
How they look to me are a sort of very realistic, but also very dynamic making them look almost like fantasy creatures, or not of this world, yet still grounded in our reality! Very dramatic; like a dream! Wish I could afford to buy one of them!
