New painting on the easel! This one will have two nautiluses and one allonautilus. The background is synthetic mica over oil paint.

I added a new page to my website! Fully dedicated to my Fortunes of the Bismarck Sea series, it explains my inspiration and features the four paintings I‘ve finished so far. More to come!
