The artwork for my new blog banner, you can see here

at my site, The Flying Trilobite.

Oil paint on shale roofing tile.

I wanted a rockier look this time, and painted using more greys and browns. And always naples yellow! I painted the shale with clear gesso so the oil would not soak into the porous stone and cause the colours to dust when dry. I painted the entire stone, to better colours match the fossil on the surface.

I tried to add more shadows this time, to make it pop a little more into 3-d.

*snicker*

I rather like the more realistic tone you took with your flying trilobite. Beautiful rendering. :D

Hey...what's so funny..?

Thanks *rachaelm5! I do think this came out well. I really need to get it framed so it does not crack.
