Chuck, tell me, where did you get this figures? they look so odd nd strange and at the same time very vintage-looking. Good choice! BTW thanks for posting on my blog.
Thanks Paulo These are vintage aquarium figurines made in Occupied Japan..they are supposed to be deep sea divers...I guess like something out of Jules Verne...really Spacey looking. I'm doing these and the mermaids for a friend who has a collection of these objects. It's been great fun painting them.
I've painted on the side all my life. In 2005 I started painting full time. Starting with the trompe L'oeil series "Scatter Paintings" and small "Daily" paintings. In 2007 I made an about turn to plein air work and Landscape painting...a subject and style that still keeps me captivated 12 years later. This internet diary keeps track of my progress. Unless noted, all the paintings posted on this blog are for Sale. You can contact me at CLAW4JC@aol.com for pricing and billing information.
