this guy is probably my favorite painting to date even though it was one of the most painstaking. I was unfamiliar with oil paint then and ended up using acrylic, which was a huge headache due to the fast drying time. I painted over the middle section probably 5 times before I got it right and the palmetto fronds in the back took forever to complete. Even though big blue is a bit menacing staring at you head on, the overall vibe of the piece is still fun and exciting.

This was the first conscious iteration of big Blue. As you can see below, the idea began in my sketchbook. As i said alligators have always been my favorite animal. being colorblind, they always looked especially dull to me with their natural colors. Very vibrant blue is one of the colors i can see best so i decided to combine the 2 to get Big Blue. The photo above is a giclee print, and is in a reclaimed cypress frame hand-built by me.
