Maruvian Oceanic Mask Diptych

Original - Oil on  gallery wrap canvas
10" x 30"

This image reminds me of a Nautilus swimming in the ocean. This mask was inspired by the Balinese people living near the water. This painting is part of a small work series influenced by masks from around the world. I was originally trying to do a painting a day but ran into a snag when the oils took to long to dry or set. It left me being able to do a painting each 3-6 days depending on how quick the oils set up.

This mask is one of three diptych canvases (which means two canvases to make one image) that I finished from my small works series.
