Ten Percent Human (Turquoise)

We are only 10% human, the other 90% is bacterium living in the gut! I guess this painting is only 10 % human too, if that! A cat, an octopus, and creepy crawlies howling at the moon, the moon scowling back. Flowing organic lines bring the composition together, as does the theme colour turquoise. The turquoise appears throughout the picture in whole form, and broken down into its sum parts, blue, green and yellow. Complementary red and brown provide the colour balance.

I have often written that I am self taught but that is not exactly the case. William Clarke was perhaps the most influential teacher I had in high school art class he urged me to fill the sketch book full of drawings and has still followed my art to this day on social media. Around the same time Sue (Coleman?) was running watercolour classes where I learned about the medium. And Dini at artisans alley, an art dealer, she gave me quite a few useful pointers and encouraged me to pursue the doodleism style that began around 2001 until now.
