Acrylic and oil pastel on wood board. Thanks for looking.

(2B pencil on 85mm x 67mm paper) I wasn't going to keep this dreamscape piece I did, but I did like the title I gave it!

After experiencing a DNA surprise/shock earlier in the year I needed to express my feelings in my artwork. Conception is a representation of how random life can be. A sence of belonging yet somehow not belonging and finally being able to link together those aspects of myself.

I took a course on imprimatur/underpainting and enjoyed the effect. I'm just working on adapting traditional skills to digital skills in Reblle.

I've been so impressed with the ball point pen art that I have seen on this site, that I decided to give it a try. This is a Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) done in red, blue, and purple ball point pens. Obviously, I have much to learn....but it was great fun and I have ordered some more colors since I plan on experimenting more. I've enclosed a photo of the work in progress and the various reference photos I used. The colors are more true to the final scan than in the flash photo of my drawing table.
