Playground in the Deep

Playground in the Deep

This started out as an ink wash on watercolour paper. Scanned into my computer then fractals added. Paint Shop Pro was used for some design manipulations. It reminded me of an underwater scene with fish swirling and swimming around among the coral…hope you can see it too :-)

    wow makes me think of caves

  • Chris Willis replied

    Yes…I see that too, LOL…this was a bit tricky to title….especially with that fiery looking ‘bit’ at the bottom….maybe an underwater explosion of some kind?
    Thank you for taking the time to
    comment :-)

  • Chris Willis replied

    Oh, Sir Maximus…you are being waxing poetic today, LOL
    Thanks pal…can I take it that’s a tick of approval?

    Oh groan….don’t you just hate it when you hit the add comment button before checking spelling and grammar? That was supposed to read without the ‘being’ in that sentence. Sounds a bit strange…never mind…you get my drift, I hope?

    lustrous beautiful colour Chris—looks like a precious jewel!

  • Chris Willis replied

    Thank you Robin…do you find it difficult to title things sometimes?....I can see it as jewellery now :-) All I could see at the time of titling it was water.

  • Kenart

    Excellent composition. Perhaps each person should title it themselves as a competition. I would call it Stravinsky.

  • Chris Willis replied

    WOW….Ken. What a wonderful title…you could make money helping we poor strugglin’ artists. Mind you…I think that statement could be an oxymoron :-) LOL Thanks for leaving your comment.

    Gorgeous colours Chris. I see an ice cave with a frozen pool of water and a reflection the on the ice.
    Love it..

  • Chris Willis replied

    Hi Dharna…I’m glad you like it, and thank you for taking the time to leave your comment….Inks have wonderful vibrancy about them….I think I had better get them out again and do some more washes. Fractals go well with them.
