©2013 Julia Forsyth, Calabash Whale, acrylic and soap on roofing felt, 19" x 36"
Finally finished! I thought I was finished with Moby Dick about a month ago, but I kept on getting the urge to paint more on it. Glad I did - now it really feels complete.
This piece was inspired by James Rumford's book, Calabash Cat and His Amazing Journey. I drew the patterns onto the roofing felt with soap, then painted the whale, then washed the soap off. Washing the soap off revealed the black roofing felt lines - voila!
