Zenith of the skyline, distant ocean, a picnic table, two misshapen vases containing twisted flowers. Are they real or plastic? This painting started out as a watercolour, and then I overlapped generous amounts of oil pastel and some acrylic paint for highlights and effects. With the heavy outlining it took on a graphic novel look, like Monet drew a comic. The final effect is pretty stunning even though it breaks the 'old English' rule of not using white and not mixing medias. But then again rules were made to be broken. (The person who first said that may have received a fine). Maybe this is the theme of our age, is it real or plastic?
