Description

yeah that title will do, like its so obvous whats goin on and all, this painting was FUNN! *gets manic look in eye* ya wanna know why???? hua? hua? I did this at tafe and my teacher kindly brought in some decaying pelican wing bones he had found on the beach, just so i could get the bones the right colour. The bones still had some ligiments and smelt like dead fish, which by the end of the day with the turpsy smell was admittingly making me feel verrrrrry ill.
I'm verry happy with the way the mussels look.

I absolutely love the wings. Using real pelican wings was a neat if not smelly tactic ;D
I think it came out great. You look at the wings more because it's bright compared to the rest of it and I just like the idea that it's not typical feathered wings, but you have some interesting little branches with feathers dangling off them.

I find that oddly effective for this.
Me thinks it's lovely xD
