White Diver Dan

I read somewhere a reference to small paintings like this posted on a blog as "Blog Paintings". I have no wish to try and do one of these every day, but doing them frequently is a good thing. Plus they do sell well. These little ceramic Occupied Japan figurines were made for aquariums, although they are often mistaken for spacemen. I think the inspiration was the diving apparatus out of Jules Verne's book 2000 Leagues Beneath the Sea. This is oil on board 5 1/2" x 7 3/4s. An odd size for an odd little man.
....now back to the big stuff!
