Fisherman's Blues- The Waterboys

Fisherman's Blues- The Waterboys. 6x6 Oil on Gessobord. The challenge this week is reflections. The photo supplied was so fabulous I couldn't resist!!! It is so good to be back at the easel after my vacation. To open my paintbox and get a big ole whiff of my paints was heaven!!! Even though they were all dried up:) Found this song (which kinda reminds me of Bob Dylan) but it is perfect!

Somebody's Watching Me- Rockwell

Somebody's Watching Me- Rockwell. 6x6 Oil on Gessobord. The challenge this week is to paint something green. We recently went to the Reptile Gardens in Rapid City, South Dakota, this guy...(I think it is some kind of iguana, sat so patiently and just stared at us when we passed him. I really liked his colors! I changed the background 6 times on this one. Finally settled on this.
I always thought Michael Jackson wrote and performed this. But after investigating found he only sang the chorus and back up. Interesting:)
