Enchanted Ocean Original Painting

laurabarbosa — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:17:41 +0000

An Ethereal Painting of Ocean Life Living in a Fantasy World of Floating Octopus, Green Mermaids and Humpback Whales with Swimming Jellyfish. A Mystical Acrylic Painting on 24×36″ Gallery Wrapped Canvas. Created in 2013.

I am going to continue this style of painting, it is my new direction and a leap forward. I feel like I have made a jump into the future of my creation process, overcoming a stinking point and will use my new techniques to create more ethereal and mystical presentations of other worlds with more sea creatures. My fascination of ocean life seems to be never ending. I have a love for sharks, whales and anything that comes from the sea. Stay tuned for more mystical worlds and original entities.

Angry Angler Andy

laurabarbosa — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:59:34 +0000

The Deep Sea Anglerfish has always interested me. It looks like a creature from outer space and has such wonderful facial characteristics to create art from. This is my first Anglerfish Painting portraying the animal as an oversized monster with a Scuba Diver shown to be much smaller and swimming for her life. The skulls on the right represent Andy’s ominous presence and suggestive nature. The living anglerfish, also known as the black devil is only 5 inches long and lives at a depth of 3000 feet.

Mad Mermaid Myrtle

laurabarbosa — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:40:47 +0000

“Mad Mermaid Myrtle” is my unique vision of what a mermaid looks like. Myrtle is over the top, outside the box and creepy. Her body is half humanoid and half fish. She collects the skulls of pirates and fisherman who were taken by the sea. Acrylics on canvas with a 3d effect and texture. 18 x 24″

I watch alot of the “Monsters and Mysteries in America” Shows and I also had seen “Mermaids – A Body Found” like 5 times. So yeah, I guess Mad Mermaid Myrtle just came out of my subconcious mind… Cryptozoology has always been a passion of mine and the hunt for new creatures and unexplored parts of our country has always been an exciting pastime for me. Remember the Fiji Mermaid. I grew up with Barnum and Bailey Circus and Boardwalk Freak Shows. Stay tuned for The Yeti, Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, The Sheepsquatch, Mothman and The Chupacabra….Coming Soon to this Blog…If you can think of any other oddities which would be cool to paint, please leave a comment…Thank you :0)
