A few weeks ago now there was this weird story in the news about a woman in a sight-seeing boat who was badly hurt when a dolphin landed on her – weird but true.
This small piece, done in fluid acrylics and oil stick, was inspired by that story. No, it’s not a painting of a dolphin — but for me it represents the idea of the dolphin and all the blood, hence the red oil stick.
Not for sale.
Cath, the background on this is amazing. It looks like 3D – scrunched up heavy paper or thick fabric – how did you achieve that?

Rough coat of gessso, when that was dry I scraped on a 2nd coat with a credit card and left to dry. I dropped 2 colours of Golden fluid acrylics on randomly then scraped across the card with the credit card. the dark lines are stop / start / turn marks.
I keep ALL those odd ‘fake’ credit cards that turn up in the mail from the likes of Doubleday to use as paint scapers.
