Watching the Clouds

"There is magic everywhere," he said, "if you just know how to look."
—Tobius Leander

This is a painting I did as a special birthday gift for my mother. (It's her birthday today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!) For reference I used a photo taken this February of my back yard, slightly altered for simplicity, and put through my MageVision filter. The little guy on the tree in red and blue is Tobius Leander, a slightly eccentric, Golux-esque character who has a tendancy to waltz in and out of my imagination at random.

Acrylic on matboard, this is by far my most ambitious acrylic to date, and I am really thrilled with the result. Unfortunately, do to the size of my scanner, about half an inch was cut off on either side during scanning. Not that you miss much.

Tobius belong to nobody, but I have a life long contract with him. Enjoy.
