Gulp!


Thrown off course as they entered our atmosphere, these extra-terrestrials find themselves plunged into the middle of a fierce electrical storm far from any land. A hapless pilot is trapped while the others can only look on in dismay. This oil painting was done a few weeks ago and emerged from a blue splattered masonite panel I have had sitting around for at least a year now. I had originally envisioned in a sketch a crazy rat fink style alien in descent, but came up with with this anxiety ridden cute alien splash down. The color scheme was somewhat dicated by the tubes I had lying around. I have deliberately tried to start working and pushing myself to work with and respond to color in less predictable ways.
