This has been a crazy Sunday, so it's only natural that my Gothic Arch is a little off the dimensions of the traditional arch for this challenge, and I mistook the theme, which is really By The Sea, for "The Sea", and so my crazy swimmer is actually IN the Sea, about to hack away at a swimming lizard. Yes. A crazy piece of art for an equally crazy day.
I have had this swimmer image for so long that I don't remember where she came from. The lizard is my own home-made clip art, as is the pickax. Background is acrylics, gesso and gel pen.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Wow this is great and funny. Gorgeous arch.
